We often think about French or Italian scores in this sub genre, but there are plenty of other nationalities represented too. I’d like to highlight George Fenton’s gorgeous score for WHITE PALACE (1990), with Susan Sarandon and James Spader connecting in a story about — according to Wikipedia — “the unlikely relationship between a young upper middle class widower (Spader) who falls in love with a middle-aged working class waitress (Sarandon) in St. Louis, Missouri”.
Never seen it, but I absolutely love Fenton’s score. Yes, he brings on his usual flair for romantic orchestral writing, but he combines it with sexy synths and sax aplenty. Heartily recommended!
