The story has been told several times -- though not, it seems, in
Double Life.
Huston (or could it have been his producer?) had Rozsa in mind for
The Bible.
Rozsa accordingly backed out of a commitment to score
Judith,
only to find out that "the Irish genius" had changed his mind. Igor Stravinsky's name was also tossed around at the time. Whatever the truth of the matter, the mixup helped to keep Rozsa's music out of the theaters in that dark period from 1964 through 1967.
Judith
(1966) was apparently a dud. (Sophia Loren hunts down Nazis in 1948 Israel.) But the film must have offered some musical opportunities. Sol Kaplan scored it and there was an OST album featuring his evocative main theme.
I agree with William that
The Bible
called for something different from Rozsa's established biblical mode. Could an effective directorial collaboration have guided Rozsa in a new direction? We'll never know.
