They may not have physically studied with Schoenberg, et al., but the film composers in Hollywood definitely studied and absorbed many aspects of the sound (if not the specific techniques) of then-avant garde composers, and used them in film. I have read, in fact, that different film composers were known for being good at imitating particular composers/styles and were the "go-to" composers when a film score needed a particular atmosphere. -- David W.
