Like John Addison, Thomas became a colonel in the militia, and he was appointed to several important offices, as well, including judge of the Provincial Court and member of the Governor's Council.
Addison never fully explained the reasons for his loyalty to Britain when hostilities broke out, nor his rapid decision to emigrate, but it appears that his devotion to the Anglican church and his English education may have significantly influenced his decision.
Eventually, Addison became disillusioned with the conduct of the war and with the political situation in England, and he came to accept the notion that independence was the best solution for the imperial crisis.

 SoundtrackNet : Torn Curtain Soundtrack
Addison's score is also much shorter and relies heavily on this main title theme and the aptly titled "The Love Theme", while the secondary thematic material is surprisingly Herrmann-esque down to the psychotic swirling strings as can be heard in "Introduction to Pi".
The shorter score also means that many scenes which were intended to have Herrmann's music under them (such as the lunch of the Armstrongs and the duel of the professors at the flboard) sadly lack the necessary tension.
Addison also wrote a cue for it which can be heard on the soundtrack (being the real standout track), but it was also left out of the movie which doesn't feature any music in this crucial sequence.

John Mervin Addison was born 16 March 1920 in Cobham, Surrey and educated at Wellington College and at the Royal College of Music from 1938-1939.
There was something distinctly unusual in this highly flavoured and adventurous music, some of it mercifully captured on the original cast recording (none of Addison's future stage scores got into the recording studio).
It was the early 70s before Addison ventured into musical theatre with both feet, but the two remaining efforts didn't meet with much success, and there was an air of half-heartedness about what he did.
