Max Steiner was notorious for his Mickey-Mouse scores. Ms Davis did not approve. In Dark Victory: the Life of Bette Davis (by Ed Sikov), we read...

"Geraldine Fitzgerald, who plays Ann, recalled that the set "had been beautifully lit with a kind of heavenly glow on Bette as she slowly climbed the stairs. Suddenly she stopped and turned around and came down the stairs, this time matter-of-factly (almost clumping down, you could say) and said to Eddie Goulding, 'Is Max Steiner going to underscore this scene?' 'Oh, no,' said Goulding. 'Of course not! We all know how you feel about that!' 'Good', said Bette, 'because either I'm going up the stairs or Max Steiner is going up the stairs, but we're goddamn well not going up together!'" ("I hate to remember," Fitzgerald added, "but I think the scene was underscored and she had the Vienna Boys Choir accompanying her.")"

It's unfortunate that a short extract such as this cannot be used without being considered a violation of copyright. I'll try to figure out how to create a linked reference.
