Mischa Spolianski - (28 December 1898, Bialystok, Poland, former Russian Empire - 28 June 1985, London, England).
The distinguished composer who was born on December 28, 1898 in Bialystok, Russia, was forced to flee his native country after the Revolution of 1905 to Germany.
After studying music, Spoliansky joined the booming theatrical and cabaret life of Weimar Berlin, writing popular musical revues and establishing a reputation as a more upbeat version of Kurt Weill.
Among the notable people of the theater he worked with director Max Reinhardt and the actress Marlene Dietrich. Spoliansky's musical "Zwei Krawatten" was filmed in 1930. After Hitler came to power he had to flee to England, where he was commissioned by film-maker Alexander Korda of London Films to write the scores of "Sanders of the River" (1935), which won the prize for Best Music at the Venice Film Fesitval, and "The Ghost Goes West" (1935). He scored over 50 movies in his 40 years as a composer in England, including the original scores for "King Solomon's Mines" (1937) and Otto Preminger's "Saint Joan" (1957).
Known for writing music that well-suited the film, Spoliansky probably wasn't more famous because he did most of his composing for comedies, whereas better-known British composers such as Benjamim Britten and William Walton typically scored more prestigious dramatic pictures.
His last score was for the somber "Hitler: The Last Ten Days" (1973).
