Composed by Eddie Sauter
While his music for "Brenda," "The Dark Boy," "Little Girl Lost," "The Return of the Sorcerer" and "Finnegan's Flight" greatly aided the dramatic effect of these stories, Eddie Sauter's score for "The Caterpillar," a tale set in tropical Borneo, is perhaps his masterpiece. Using Javanese modes that mimic the gong-laden gamelan orchestras of Indonesia, Sauter created an exotic and powerful atmosphere to underscore the story of a dissolute Britisher, a hungry earwig, and a gag-inducing assassination attempt that backfires.
