Le Magnifique

Description

To mark the 50th anniversary of Philippe de Broca's cult film 'Le Magnifique', Sugarmusic presents the first complete vinyl edition of the original soundtrack composed by Claude Bolling. 'Le Magnifique', starring Jean-Paul Belmondo in a dual role, is a hilarious comedy about the relationship between François Merlin, a writer of cheap spy novels, and his hero, secret agent Bob Saint-Clar, who is swept up in a whirlwind of extravagances. Musically, Le Magnifique sealed the beginning of a fruitful collaboration between de Broca and the great Claude Bolling, a jazz and film musician freshly celebrated for the success of Borsalino. A score ranging from mariachis and romantic outbursts to fiery boleros and James Bond-esque nods: the lush music of Le Magnifique established Claude Bolling as France's answer to Henry Mancini. As the film undergoes 4K restoration, this first complete vinyl edition of this magnificent score combines the original 1973 album with previously unreleased tracks and alternate takes from the Sugarmusic archives in a double LP format. It is available with two distinct cover designs, one paying homage to the visuals of the Bob Saint-Clar novels.
