This 50-minute documentary is an outstanding testimony of Georges Delerue's work in the sixties, probably his most creative period. One can recognize the mischievous Ken Russel's touch from the mundane opening sequence which is scored by Delerue as typical film noir sequence in order to demonstrate the power of his music. The film features a great deal of unpublished music including some awesome "sons et lumières" excerpts performed live in a studio by symphony orchestra and broad chorus. Delerue himself can be seen at the baton, rehearsing at the piano and having fun with his first wife and one of two daughters.
I had the opportunity to watch this movie thanks to a private contact and can't understand why it is still not available for general audience at this time.
