Eddie’s theme is used in the film to score Ada’s grief or disappointment. Here, Rael explains how the cue works in context, how he avoids it feeling too sad, and how it even signposts some future happiness for Ada by introducing harmonic content from the Success Theme in the B section.
Rael takes us through the cue 1M08 Footloose and Fancy Free, describing how the theme works to picture as Ada receives news of her husband’s death.
