Also known as TWO ENGLISH GIRLS, this romantic 1971 film by Francois Truffaut doesn't seem to have a previous thread. I've never seen it, plot is described thusly: "At the beginning of the 20th century, Claude Roc, a young middle-class Frenchman, befriends Anne, an Englishwoman. While spending time in England with Anne’s family, Claude falls in love with her sister Muriel, but both families lay down a year-long separation without contact before they may marry."
BUT....this is the kind of Delerue I have the hots for. Slow, bittersweet, pastoral, deeply emotional. I thought it only had a vinyl release, but checking Discogs, there appears to be a CD reissue as well, from years ago. Well worth checking out, if you haven't already.

Sorry to hear that Thor. Nothing that Jerry patented trombones cant cure.

I've decided to play this now. Lovely, bitter sweet.

I'd forgotten there were several pain in the arse dialogue tracks towards the end!

Day, are those dialogue tracks on the Universal France edition I just bought?
No, the few dialogue tracks have been removed for the Universal CD. Therefore LES DEUX ANGLAISES is about 10 minutes shorter than on the old Hortensia CD from the early 90s.

Yep. Mine is the Hortensia edition.

When this CD* kicked in, I thought "is this a James Bond score???"
There was all that missing circus music (NOT by John Barry).
I only knew JULES et JIM from the various excerpts I have on Delerue compilation albums and none of them featured Circus Music!
It's not a score I love. Pleasant, yes, but light and disposable overall.
The real treat here is TWO ENGLISH GIRLS ON THE CONTINENT.
Absolutely sumptuous music from Georges Delerue, in that style all of his own.
It just takes you on a journey of whimsy and beauty.
So delicate...heart-breaking...in its simplicity and vibe.
And no whittle needed here...EVERY cue from TWO GIRLS is indispensable.
He sure was 'the French' John Barry.
What a way to start the week. (Thanks again, Thor).
