If memory serves me right he took over part way through the making of the film when the original director ran afoul of the studio executives. Most of that footage was scrapped and Otto virtually started over. The theme from Laura, which became a very popular piece of music in its day, has absolutely nothing to do with Lara's theme from Dr. Zhivago other than the latter also became a very popular piece of music in its day.
