GRGR: Jessica Swanlake

Hoy! Hoy!
       Yes, indeed!  Tchaikovsky's _Swan Lake_ was employed in the soundtrack for _Dracula_ starring Bela Lugosi.  Other notable films in which Tchaikovsky's music is employed can be reviewed at "bohemianopera.com".  Evidently old Pyotr was popular with Akira Kurosawa as well.  Enjoy!
                                                                      truly,
                                                                      ruud

up 'cos theere isn't a sdtk. listing for it there, but
the Swan Lake suite is indeed used therein ...
