Best known for his work with Alfred Hitchcock on films such as "Rear Window" (1954), "North by Northwest" (1959), "Psycho" (1960) and "The Birds" (1963). Tomasini also contributed to films by directors including George Pal ("The Time Machine" 1960), John Huston ("The Misfits" 1961) and J. Lee Thompson ("Cape Fear" 1962); on "Elephant Walk" (1954), he was faced with the peculiar challenge of matching long-shot footage of Vivien Leigh to close-ups of Elizabeth Taylor, after the former had withdrawn from the project.
