Summary: 

I find Conti's scores tolerable, but not special.  (A local critic despises
them, never missing the chance to dump on them.)  My own favorite composer
who is still alive and active is Elmer Bernstein: "The Ten Commandments",
"The Magnificent Seven", "To Kill a Mockingbird", "Hawaii", and "True Grit"
are a few of his memorable scores.  He is particularly strong working in
the heroic mode, though his Oscar was for "Thoroughly Modern Millie".
