I love Steve Carell. When Trevor Rabin asked me to write additional music for this film, I was excited. Musically, this film required a delicate balance between action and comedy writing. The music had to have the right tone and be nimble enough to turn (or stop) on a dime to enhance the action and punctuate comedy.

Get Smart - "Thumbprint Trick"

This scene features our heroes, Steve Carell and Anne Hathaway, sneaking through the bad guy's lair looking for information. The music plays all their action while leaving space for the comedic moments to shine. Big challenge! Good fun.
