I found this old breif article from 1964. For interest's sake:
Composer Upset Over Music Role HOLLYWOOD
Composer Ernest Gold, who won an Academy Award for his "Exodus" score, says "Music for television plays is pitiful and painful. I prefer to watch wrestling where the laughs don't have to be underscored." Gold also says he resents the abuse of music "as a piece of interior decoration while reading, talking or at the dentist. This constant hearing of music dulls us to listening fully to music, like the man who goes to a fine restaurant for dinner after having nibbled all afternoon."The views and opinions of Ford A. Thaxton are his own and do not necessarily reflect the ones of ANYONE else. -

I recall Stravinsky saying film music was the filling of empty holes in movies.

Though that might have been influenced by his own bad experience with Hollywood.http://www.filmmusic.pl - Polish Film Music Review Website
