Maurice Jarre was hired to write the dramatic musical score; Aram Khachaturyan was to handle the eastern themed music; and Benjamin Britten was to provide the British imperial music. Neither Khatchaturian nor Britten were able to properly get involved so producer Sam Spiegel hired Richard Rodgers to fill in the musical gaps. When Spiegel and director Sir David Lean heard Rodgers' compositions, they were hugely disappointed so they turned to Jarre to see what he had done. The minute Lean heard Jarre's now-classic theme, he knew they had the right composer. Jarre was given the job of scoring the whole movie in a mere six weeks.
