Editing Family Plot (section)

===Music===
For the score, Universal's music executive, [[Harry Garfield]], recommended [[John Williams]] to Hitchcock, following the [[Academy Award|Oscar]] and critical acclaim of his music score for ''[[Jaws (soundtrack)|Jaws]]''.

The film was the only Hitchcock production to be scored by [[John Williams|Williams]], who has stated that Hitchcock wanted choir voices for Madame Blanche to make her seem psychic towards the beginning, and that Hitchcock was at the scoring sessions most of the time and would often give him suggestions. For the scene in which Maloney suddenly disappears from Adamson's office, Hitchcock suggested that Williams stop the music when the camera cuts to the open window to indicate to the audience that Maloney has left through it.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b01pmfz5/Composer_of_the_Week_John_Williams_(1932)_Americas_Composer/ |title=Composer of the Week: John Williams (1932-) 3 America's Composer |publisher=[[BBC Radio 3]] |access-date=October 6, 2013}}</ref> Hitchcock then went on to say, "Mr. Williams, murder can be fun", when he suggested that he should conduct the music lightly for a darker scene of the film. Williams stated that it was a great privilege, and that he had a wonderful working experience with the director.{{citation needed|date=June 2015}}

The complete soundtrack was not released upon the film's release date. Few themes from the film were released on John Williams and Alfred Hitchcock compilation albums. For years afterwards, the original soundtrack was not available, spawning many bootleg copies of the complete scoring sessions of the film over the internet. Finally in 2010, [[Varèse Sarabande]] officially released a limited edition of the complete Original Motion Picture Soundtrack, 34 years after the film's initial release.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.varesesarabande.com/servlet/the-260/Family-Plot/Detail |title=''Family Plot'' |publisher=[[Varèse Sarabande]] |access-date=October 19, 2012 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120314214335/http://www.varesesarabande.com/servlet/the-260/Family-Plot/Detail |archive-date=March 14, 2012}}</ref>
