His score to Anthony Adverse (1936) also won the Oscar; however at this time the Oscar was awarded to the head of the music department of the studio which produced the movie not the composer him/herself (the year Korngold won for The Adventures of Robin Hood was the first in which the composer rather than the studio music department head was awarded the Oscar). Erich Wolfgang Korngold (May 29 1897 – November 29 1957) was an Austrian film and romantic music composer. Along with such composers as Max Steiner and Alfred Newman he is considered one of the founders of film music.
