But his fluent and versatile writing was to prove highly suitable to a whole era of British films of the mid-twentieth century, in many instances, as in all the best film scores, contributing independently to the popular success of the film.
Addinsell was a match for many cinematic genres: historic drama (Fire over England, 1937, Tom Brown's Schooldays, 1950, Beau Brummel, 1954)), psychological (Gaslight, 1940), contemporary (Love on the Dole, 1941, Life at the Top, 1965) or even comedy (The Prince and the Showgirl, 1957, Waltz of the Toreadors, 1962).
He was hugely influential on a generation of British film composers and established a quality and style of full scale orchestral writing that was never bettered.

There was a time not so long ago when the mere mention of the Warsaw Concerto was enough to make certain serious music lovers gag; and, if truth be told, it remains, with the music of Albert Ketelbey, one of the supreme masterworks of musical kitsch.
