I saw it on either NOW TV or BBC4 some years ago and didn't think much of it, personally. Are you referring to the documentary ENNIO recently made by Giuseppe Tornatore? If you are, you won't have seen it on NOW TV or BBC4 some years ago. Cheers

He was capable of playing chess and composing music totally in his head. In the recent composer of the week(bbc radio 3)it was said that while conducting Days of Heaven he was playing chess with Mallick ( who was in the booth)!!

I'm not sure about that Day. There is a photo of Ennio playing chess with Malick but I doubt it was while they were recording the score. Morricone was a relentless professional and very dedicated to the endth degree, so maybe during the lunch break or after recording was finished. Sounds to me like someone has seen that photo and added a bit of topspin to the story. Anyway, well said, Henry. Good observations about Tornatore's masterpiece.

Lol Yes, I can just see Ennio now, conducting "Threshing" on the podium and whispers into the microphone "Terenzio, l'Alfiere prende il pedone di Regina" - Bishop takes queen's pawn
