A very good article. The music detail is fascinating but no less than I would expect of Spielberg. I was grateful to Spielberg and Hanks for Band of Brothers when it came out, as it gave my cynical teenage son a real wake-up as to what boys hardly older than him had gone through, and why it was necessary and right to fight.

Another film I worked on (Saving Private Ryan)… that opening 20 minutes must be one of the most extraordinary pieces of filmmaking in modern times.

I love the film but still find that sequence really hard to watch. Did you find you focused on it at all in the marketing?

It became a focus of a lot of publicity breaks because journalists inevitably wanted to talk about it after seeing the movie, so Steven ended up being asked about it a lot in interviews
