Film Music Notes was the official publication of the National Film Music Council, an American periodical that ran from 1941 to 1958 and spurred critical consideration and public appreciation of film music. The magazine featured articles about and reviews of films with a focus on their music. It included reviews and articles about and by Golden Age film music composers including Miklós Rózsa. The following are references I could find to Rózsa in issues of the magazine. Reviews of films may not necessarily contain any mention of their scores. You can access issues of the magazine by clicking here. I hope to eventually link all the references below directly to their specific pages in the near future. – M.Q.
