Composers & Music / Erich Wolfgang Korngold

i'm new here, so please forgive me if i post foolishly. there are so many subjects here and i don't know how to find answers to questions i have. i hope you will be tolerant of me.
i've a radio program, and plan on doing a show including korngold, but a question i can't seem to answer satisfactorily for myself: does his later work sound like movie soundtracks, or do movie soundtracks sound like him?
i ask because i don't trust most of what i've read on him, as it's mostly patronizing, and i know he was considered something really new when he arrived in hollywood and began scoring. his work is so stunning and assured that i assume he must have influenced rafts of people, but it's an assumption because i've read no evidence of it.
i also want to know because i reckon if i want to know, then my listeners will want to also.
thank you in advance for your patience.
