Orson Welles and Igor Stravinsky (my namesake) were mutual admirers. At one point, Welles talked Stravinsky into writing a score for one of his movies (I think it would have been Ambersons, but I'm really not sure, I think it was near that timeframe).

Welles went to his producer to get permission to hire him (this was after Kane, so Welles needed permission for these sorts of things). Welles explained the situation, the producer replied "Stravinsky, yes, I think I've heard of him. How much money is he asking for?"

Welles responds "twenty thousand dollars."

The producer, shocked, replies "Twenty thousand?! For just five thousand more we could get Max Steiner!"

So I don't know who they went with.
