Michel Legrand Discusses the Restoration of "The Umbrellas of Cherbourg."
French Composer Michel Legrand. He composed the score for the 1964 classic French film, " The Umbrellas of Cherbourg." In the film every bit of dialogue is sung to Legrand's music. The film has recently been restored; for years it was unavailable because no decent print existed. Legrand has won three Oscars for the song, "The Windmills of Your Mind," from the film "The Thomas Crown Affair," best original dramatic score for "Summer of '42," and best original song score for "Yentl." "The Umbrellas of Cherbourg" will be playing in city's across the nation April-June. Some of Legrand's compositions are included on the CD "Musique & Cinema," (Travelling, dist. by Auvidis, France)
