The Romantic Film Scores We Still Swoon Over

“Moon River” is one of the great romantic melodies of all time. Henry Mancini composed it with Audrey Hepburn’s voice in mind — soft, delicate, and full of longing. The rest of the score matches the film’s mix of sophistication and vulnerability. It’s jazz-tinged, elegant, and wistfully emotional. The soundtrack doesn’t just accompany the movie; it defines Holly Golightly’s inner world.
