Whilst at CBS, he met Orson Welles, and wrote scores for his Mercury Theatre broadcasts including the famous adaptation of [[HG Wells]]' ''[[The War of the Worlds]]''. When Welles moved to movies, Herrmann went with him, writing the scores for ''[[Citizen Kane (Film)|Citizen Kane]]'' (1941) and ''[[The Magnificent Ambersons]]'' (1942), although the score for the latter, like the film itself, was heavily edited by the studio.
