Doyle’s natural talent for trumpeting, orchestral melody (not to mention his award-winning way with Latin choruses) sounded him off like a lightning bolt- a storm that was about to explode when he and Branagh went Hollywood for 1991’s stylistically dazzling romantic thriller DEAD AGAIN. But Branagh would scantly toil in the background for long, as his theatrical flair allowed him to take a 9 million dollar gamble behind, and in front of the camera with 1989’s HENRY V. Receiving his musical and acting education in his native Scotland, Doyle’s dual artistic threats would strike up a winning collaboration with Kenneth Branagh, whom Doyle beat for an actual billing when both starred in CHARIOTS OF FIRE. For if there’s one composer who’s brought down the symphonic thunder of the composing gods, then his name would be inscribed as Patrick Doyle. Save those piddling electronic action scores for mere mortals. Home / Industry Spotlight / Interview With Composer Patrick Doyle
