If I may ....
A V to link Roland, Dimitri and John.

Is Dmitri - Shostakovich, Tiomkin, Kabalevsky or Mitropoulos or none of these?
Is Roland a forename or a keyboard instrument manufacturer or even a work by Piccini?
Is John a C20th composer?

The only V I can think of is Variations but not why it might be!

You could add Anton, as long as you don't accuse me of turning into a prater.

The only Roland I can think of is Rat and Rattigan wasn’t Irish!

To be Shaw?

He was one of those names from 60s who made middle of the road Phase 4 recordings to be played on radiograms with speakers either end in the early years of stereo!

Still no V in sight!

Vic Flick.

Ignorant me - I’d never heard of him but had heard him many times and have unknowingly a number of his recordings, not least 2X John Barry Seven CDs. AA continues to be a frustrating voyage of discovery!

(The) 'flicks' are of course at the heart of the question.
I had hoped that the addition of Anton (not Bruckner) would have helped - think of Switzerland and cuckoo clocks, a manhole cover, a man emerging from the deep shadow of a doorway, and a 'big wheel' on a Big Wheel.

Oh dear! The Prater is a large amusement park in V where people go for recreation - probably in smaller numbers at present. Some of them will ride on the Big Wheel where Orson Welles delivered his uncharitable assessment of democracy as practised in Switzerland.

Sorry but I don’t really do films. Never had the time, maybe I have now but I’ve lost the inclination!
