This is not a review of the Robber Symphony, but i cannot find any other way to bring you more information on Alfred Tokayer You mention only the film and the documentary "Attention aux Enfants" There is also a CD of his compositions and it can be found on Google.
But more importantly, it is safe to say that all the uncredited items in the film belonged to Tokayer and that in all likelihood he composed the music for the entire film.
In the thirties, although France and Britain took in refugees from Hitler's Germany, they did not allow them to work and many musicians had to find a "porte-nom" to survive. This means they received an income but the credit for their work went to their employer . This I believe was at the basis of the relationship between Friedrich Feher, an actor and producer and Alfred Tokayer.
I am the daughter of Alfred Tokayer. I was in London when the film was made. I played with Hansi, Feher's son, attended many a rehearsal and knew the music by heart long before the film was finished.
