The Baton: A John Williams Musical Journey
TV & Film:Film History
The story of John Williams' hiring to write the score for "Stepmom" has been the cause of rumor and hearsay for more than two decades, since the involved parties have never spoken publicly about how Williams came to replace Patrick Doyle as composer after Doyle supposedly turned in a complete score. Host Jeff Commings details the many rumors that have circulated in 22 years, and provides some exclusive insight into the timeline covering Williams' involvement to help clear up any misunderstanding. When listening to the score, the music is very light on thematic material and features solo guitar performances by Christopher Parkening in his only performance on a film score.
