Therein lies the problem: unlike Herrmann, whose volcanic temper and gradual estrangement from everyone from Welles to Hitchcock to Hollywood, made him a natural subject for study and chronicling, much in Rózsa's life was certainly interesting but not the stuff of drama or slack-jawed wonderment. As such, an in-depth biography by the likes of Smith, or a professional documentary film, is unlikely, in that it would end up a chronology (like A Double Life), and not a dramatic whole.
