 Despite longstanding claims, he did not write music for the American version of Toho's "King Kong vs. Godzilla".The suspect music heard in that film was composed by fellow Universal-International writer Hans J.

S. release of the Japanese picture.Some of his music, however, was used in the film's theatrical trailer.
