After some time of struggling, he finally was commissioned to compose the music for Fritz Lang's anti-Nazi film \u003cem\u003eHangmen Also Die\u003c\/em\u003e , whose script was in large part written by Bertolt Brecht. Following this, Eisler worked together with Theodor W. Adorno on the book \u003cem\u003eComposing for the Films\u003c\/em\u003e. Completed in 1944, it was not until 1947 that an English version of the book was published by Oxford University Press.
