... and here's another thing I'll tell ya: Paul Misraki had the enviable opportunities to write music for a variety of films directed by the 'who's who' of mid-20th century European cinema. Becker, Buñuel, Chabrol, Clouzot, Godard, Melville, Renoir, Vadim & Welles! Which other composers have had these directors on their résumés? Musically, though, Misraki is firmly in the French Romantic tradition. The majority of his film music oeuvre is pre-Nouvelle Vague conservatism. Misraki is very much in the 'Golden Age' mo(u)ld. My understanding is that Michel Legrand has great affection for Paul Misraki, though.

This kind of thread is why a big reason why I keep visiting here -thanks, for bringing it up. Had no idea that things like Le Doulos were available on Amazon Prime - I'm gonna give that a watch soon. And it looks like quite a lot of Misraki's music - including the five tracks Zardoz mentions above from Alphaville - are on Spotify. Some nice counter-holiday listening.
