Film Score Monthly's newest release is ladylike - at least, the scores presented therein are from films that appeal to the ladies.
Appearing for the first time anywhere are a pair of scores: Georges Delerue's score to Rich and Famous, a 1981 film featuring Candice Bergen and Jacqueline Bisset as writers and lifelong friends and Michel Legrand's music to One is a Lonely Number (1972), which chronicled the plight of a recently-divorced woman (Trish Van Devere, who received a Golden Globe nomination for her performance - ironically, the same year Van Devere began a long marriage with George C. Scott that lasted through his passing in 1999). Both scores are lushly orchestrated and feature a variety of styles and textures, making this an early surprise for soundtrack collectors in 2011. Both have been sourced from the original three-track stereo masters.
The set is limited to 2,000 copies. Order it here and check the track list after the jump!
