Yes, James Bernard was pretty good with his horror film scoring. I'd struggle to pick the winner out of him and Elisabeth Lutyens.

Yes it was, Cushing was a bit missed, but otherwise, it had a good cast.

Lots of films shown with live full orchestra these days, I'd pay good money to see a Hammer film scored by James Bernard with similar accompaniment.

This also seems to be available on the free Retro Movie channel, as was last week's movie.

Have noticed recently that there sometimes seems to be an interesting film at 9pm on a Saturday on @talkingpicturestv.bsky.social , sometimes in a different language. Last week, it was the Italian classic Nights of Cabiria.

The Castrol gtx advert uses Mahler7. Previn was a known fan of the composer, but didn't really conduct his music prolifically.

Does it give any details of the orchestra?

Seems to be also available on the Retro Movie app on the #Roku movie stick, so I'm going to give it a
go on that.

Personally speaking, that fall from a massive railway viaduct into 3 feet of water after being shot in Skyfall would be enough to kill him, in my opinion.

Well how about a tank , I think it qualifies as a vehicle, though it too would be difficult to parallel park?
