I'm in for any Dankworth release. Like Addison, Myers, and Barry he could expertly do both the British kitchen-sink dramas and the swinging London pop-jazz. Would love to hear what he did for Boom!

Fascinating movie, especially in comparison to the excellent, recent remake, Phoenix.
And that pre-credits scene is a hell of a grabber.

Thanks to Erik for calling this out, watched it last night through TCM on demand. I was a little disappointed at some of the turns it eventually took, which I'm guessing we're disprovements of the source novel, but Maximillian Schell in particular pulled it off. And Herbet Lom! Always a reason to watch a movie, in my book. Dankworth's music worked much better in the film overall than the opening credits might suggest. I'd buy it if it appears one day.
And thanks to Scott for calling out the remake, Phoenix. Watched the trailer right after, and it's on the list.
Most helpful thread of the week, for me.

This is the same program as the RCA LP I mentioned above. It's a great album well worth seeking out.
The theme from Return From the Ashes is also available on Vocalion's CD reissue of Movies 'n Me from 2010, shortly after Dankworth's death. Doesn't appear to be on Vocalion's site now.
It also featured in the 2009 compilation double CD "Let's Slip Away - Soundtracks and Themes 1960 - 1973" issued by UMG on the Eclipse label.
Both are terrific collections and must haves for any serious fan of Dankworth's music.

The Movies 'N' Me album is also available digitally - I'm listening on Spotify.
