Not necessarily from the 40s. If Bruce now indeed has a good working relationship with UMG, then this could be the first US CD release of the Decca LP of A TIME TO LOVE AND A TIME TO DIE. There was only a rare Japanese CD release in the early 90s of this score and then the Canadian "semi-bootleg" from DCM. But till now not an official US CD release.

Unfortunately, I don´t think it is A Time to Love and A Time to Die since Bruce hinted a few post earlier that the coming title is not from the 50s.

Yes, of course you are right. I had overlooked that. So probably it is not Rozsa anyway, but the hint with "birthday in a week" could rather mean that it will be a score by Patrick Williams who was born on April 23th.
In order to find the truth you will have to figure out whose big birthday it is in a week.

The clue was not "birthday this week", but "birthday is in a week". And in my opinion Patrick Williams is quite certainly a Kritzerland favorite and would therefore fit very well.
I wonder if this could be the score of a biographical film, the subject of which has a major birthday next week---perhaps a political figure, an inventor, artist...... And "big birthday" sounds as if it refers to a big number, like 100 years, 150, 200, 250, etc.
(Edit.....I see Stefan beat me to it. JANE EYRE is very likely.)
