Thank you for resurrecting the memory of this film, roadshowfan. Some cinematographies are going into oblivion, and with them the memory of their composers. I consider Alan Rawsthorne one of the most prestigious of English cinema, despite his limited number of works he wrote in this field. His nature is classical and many of his compositions have been recorded on disc, including Concertos, Studies, Symphonies, etc. I was struck first by the soundtrack of PANDORA, but I was unable to find the beautiful music, which gave metaphysical sensations, simply because it had not been recorded on disc. But this led me to search for his classical music, on famous Lyrita vinyl. Later I heard the "Rawsthorne sound" again in Gerhard Schurman's compositions, and I discovered that he was the pupil who was inspired by the master. This SARABANDE is amazing on Blu Ray and I wonder how a normal 35 mm "pre wide formats" can still give this image quality, in detail and color. Even more, I am fascinated by the frenetic editing that transmits to the viewer the anxiety and the physical and spiritual dizziness of Greenwood with very short cuts that have become a bad norm in modern cinema. I would be curious to know more about the preparation of this unparalleled sequence, which surely inspired the ballet passages in THE RED SHOES. Maybe our Manderley, the Great Master of Memory, can say something, if he is reading...!
