For his first film as director, actor Matthew Broderick had the luck to count with the more human and tender side of that two-head composer which is Bruce Broughton. Composed and published practically at the same time of the spectacular Shadow Conspiracy, his music for
Infinity tend to draw the story on two musical levels: one for the love relation between its main characters, and the other for the time of which the story develops itself. For the first one, Broughton creates a simple and romantic theme on the piano over which he modulates this kind of fifteen-cue suite; for the second, and because the plot is set on the vespers of the Second World War, is the sound of the big bands and a logical americana air which comes in hand. The interrelation of both levels, and the exquisite equillibrium of its author, -in the track of his also close in time Carried Away-, confer that so special and delicate quality which always had his scores.
