But none that had any impact whatsoever.
One did. On my collection at least.

Richard Rodney Bennett would have to be in that conversation. Also, Duke Ellington.
Some of the other composers listed (Copland, Prokofiev, Corigliano, Shostakovich, Miles Davis) were all excellent choices.

Rubinstein and Bennett were both reasonably prolific in film. Copland wrote over a half dozen film scores, Prokofiev fewer than that I guess but still he did several. I’m pretty sure Leonard Bernstein is the correct answer to this question, with his single score On the Waterfront being hugely influential on others (and particularly a couple Jerry Goldsmith scores in the 90s, lol).
Other single film score composers like Philip Sainton certainly made some impact but not as much, IMO.
Of course, this could also be a trick question in a certain way, and I could pick a composer like Richard Wagner who wrote zero film scores, but had a huge impact on film music!

Actually come to think of it, Camille Saint-Saëns might be the most correct answer to this question, because he not only wrote the first original film score, but as a classical composer of considerable stature he also leant a great deal of clout to the notion of original orchestral music being written for films, as a legitimate art form and creative endeavor.
Also his sole film score score was less than half the length of Bernstein’s, so “lowest output”.
