But when he called Young and asked him to write a theme song for the film, the music Young presented was too haunting too work as curtain raiser the track, "Philadelphia", ended up playing over heartbreaking closing footage of Beckett as a child. In desperation, Demme turned to Bruce Springsteen , whom he know through his music business contacts Demme had directed the Talking Heads concert movie Stop Making Sense.
Springsteen read the notes and came back with a track of his own. More than that, all involved felt that it had helped foster awareness about Aids and compassion towards sufferers. He did, however, catch some flack for allegedly outing the high-school teacher who had fostered his love of acting. In fact, Hanks had called Rawley Farnsworth ahead of the ceremony and received his blessing for the speech the myth that Hanks had dragged his old teacher from the closet would nonetheless inspire the Kevin Kline movie In and Out.
