===Musical director===
Johnny Green's credits as musical executive, arranger, conductor and composer are considerable, but include such highlights as ''[[Raintree County (film)|Raintree County]]'', ''[[Bathing Beauty]]'', ''[[Something in the Wind]]'', ''[[Easter Parade (1948 film)|Easter Parade]]'' (for which he won his first [[Academy Awards|Academy Award]]), ''[[Summer Stock]]'', ''[[An American in Paris]]'' (which won him his second Academy Award), ''[[Royal Wedding]]'', ''[[High Society (1956 film)|High Society]]'' and ''[[West Side Story (film)|West Side Story]]'' (another Academy Award winner for him). Although Green was musical director on these films, however, the orchestrations were usually done by someone else - in the case of the MGM musicals, it was usually [[Conrad Salinger]], and in the case of ''West Side Story'', it was [[Sid Ramin]] and [[Irwin Kostal]].
