Digitmovies and Beat Records in association with Gruppo Sugar and with the supervision and friendly assistance of Mrs. Colette Delerue, wife of the composer, proudly present a 3-CD box set featuring six original motion picture soundtracks composed and conducted by Georges Delerue, one of the titanic international names in film music.
Comme un boomerang (il figlio del gangster): Police movie directed by José Giovanni in 1976 and starring Alain Delon, Carla Gravina and Charles Vanel. A boy accidentally kills a policeman, and his father (Delon), who has a history as a notorious outlaw, tries to save him through legal means, but when things go wrong, the man returns to his old ways. (Features the same program as the original 33 rpm album but from a first generation stereo master.)
L'incorrigible (L’incorregibile): Comedy directed in 1975 by Philippe De Broca and starring Jean-Paul Belmondo, Genevieve Bujold and Capucine. The adventures of Victor Vauthier, who, fresh out of prison, gets back to “work” immediately.
Va voir maman, papa travaille (Your turn, my turn): Directed by François Leterrier in 1978 and starring Marlène Jobert, Philippe Leotard, Micheline Presle and Macha Méril. A wife and ideal mother who, while driving her son to the zoo, collides with another car and becomes the lover of the other driver. (The music of L'incorrigible and Va voir maman, papa travaille were already released on CD in complete form by Music Box Records in 2011.)
Fantômas: Mini-series directed by Claude Chabrol in 1980 and Juan Luis Buñuel and starring Helmut Berger, Jacques Dufilho, Pierre Malet and Gayle Hunnicutt. Franco-German co-production in four episodes of 90 minutes each, created by Bernard Revon based on the eponymous work of Marcel Allain and Pierre Souvestre, produced in 1979 and broadcasted in 1980 by Antenne 2. (All surviving music is included: three previously-unreleased tracks in addition to the main theme and a suite that was previously released on a compilation.)
We also release for the first time on disc two rarities by Maestro Delerue: Les insulaires, a TV movie directed in 1979 by Gilles Grangier and starring Jacques Dufilho, Odette Laure and Fabrice Eberhard, and Banlieue Sud-est, a TV series in three episodes based on the novel by Rene Fallet, directed in 1977 by Gilles Grangier and starring Paul Le Person, Maurice Biraud, Marie Lubin and Christopher Beaunay. From August 1939 to June 1944, life in Villeneuve-Saint-Georges, a suburb southeast of Paris in the village of Auvergne, brings first love, friendship, family drama and political concerns.
In pre-production for over two years and scrutinized in every detail, GEORGES DELERUE FILM MUSIC COLLECTION was a labor of love for the two record labels involved, In celebration of the 90th year since his birth, it’s an important appointment with the discography of the iconic French composer. Full of poetry and art, it’s a vibrant, melodic tribute to the fabulous school beyond the Alps of which the great Maestro is the leader.
