C'mon guys,
The movie was "The 5000 Fingers of Dr. T" (1953), not 2000 or 10 000! The story of a despotic piano teacher who kidnaps 500 of his students to perform his "masterpiece", it does indeed have screenplay by Dr. Seuss, although the trademark rhymes are all but absent.
Anyway, it's a very good movie, and the orchestral music was written by Frederick Hollander, Heinz Roemheld, and Hans J. Salter.
IDM content: the soundtrack has a theremin on it, I think... ;-)
