In addition to that, by the time The Fantasticks came out, there'd

convinced that the fact that this music became part of the vocabulary
of film scores is one of the reasons younger people have little
difficulty with non-tonal music -- they've been hearing it their
whole lives and have a framework of meaning in which to interpret it.
I agree. I remember a music history teacher saying that Schoenberg
taught film composers in LA, but I never came across names. I believe
that Korngold and Waxman were students of his, but earlier, in Europe.
