Never seen the film but absolutely adore the score. Anybody know if there is much more to be released? Was there a recent French release of this score or am I imagining things. Definitely treasure my Bay Cities disc but would love an upgrade in sound quality for sure. Any info please...
As far as I remember, there's not much more music in the film than there is on the album - maybe a couple of minutes (and certainly no more than ten)? I love the movies (and the scores, naturally), but haven't sat down to watch them in quite some time. By the way, on a "making of" film made during the time of the films, Legrand is interviewed, and he talks about the limited amount of time he had available to compose, noting that he had to write at "jet speed."
Universal France did reissue the score on a double-bill with Legrand's rejected score for "Robin and Marian" (which I think is magnificent). That album came out in 2009, I believe. The "Musketeers" contents are the same as on the Bay Cities release, though, not having the Bay Cities album, I can't speak to any differences in sound quality between the two.
As highly as I regard Lalo Schifrin's score for "The Four Musketeers," I would have loved to have heard Legrand continue to develop his material in that film, too. His score for "Three" is always surprising, delightful, romantic, and rousing.

In 2009 Universal France issued the score on CD. That release has the same 14 tracks that appear on the Bay Cities CD. But it also includes 10 tracks from Legrand's rejected score to ROBIN AND MARIAN. I haven't heard this release, so I can't speak to its sound quality vis-à-vis the Bay Cities CD.
(TheFamousEccles beat my post by a few seconds.)
Either Mr. Legrand had a personal tape or they used the Bay Cities - what they didn't do was actually get the album master from Bell.

. I'd be curious to hear how Maclaine and Bancroft felt after watching/hearing that trailer...I get the feeling the romance is secondary to the competitive aspect of the film....
