, as Damien, was largely chosen for this role from the way he attacked
Richard Donner
during auditions. Donner asked all the little boys to "come at him" as if they were attacking Katherine Thorn during the church wedding scene. Stephens screamed and clawed at Donners face, and kicked him in the groin during his act. Donner whipped the kid off him, ordered the kids blond hair dyed black and cast him as Damien.
d.
Composer
Erich Wolfgang Korngold
was personally chosen by director
Max Reinhardt
. Both agreed in an early production stage to use the original incidental music written by
Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy
as the films soundtrack. (Reinhardt did a stage production of the play before and used Mendelssohns music.) As the film runs over two hours it was obvious that Mendelssohns composition would be too short. Instead of just repeating several musical cues to fit the films final length Korngold adapted the incidental music and parts of some other compositions by Mendelssohn, re-orchestrated them for a larger orchestra and choir (most notably heard in his Wedding March version at the end) and composed some short musical bridges by himself. Thus he created a complete symphonic score for the movie based on Mendelssohns music. However, he chose to remain uncredited as a composer and insisted on giving full musical credit to Mendelssohn.
