Film scores


Legrand is known principally as a composer of innovative music for films, composing film scores (about two hundred to date) for directors Jean-Luc Godard , Richard Brooks , Claude Lelouch , Clint Eastwood , Robert Altman , Joseph Losey , and many others. Legrand himself appears and performs in Agnès Varda 's French New Wave classic, Cleo from 5 to 7 (1961). After his songs appeared in Jacques Demy 's films Les Parapluies de Cherbourg|The Umbrellas of Cherbourg (1964) and Les Demoiselles de Rochefort|The Young Girls of Rochefort (1966), Legrand became famous worldwide. The Umbrellas of Cherbourg was a sung-through musical in which all the dialogue was set to music, a revolutionary concept at the time.

Hollywood soon became interested in Legrand after The Umbrellas of Cherbourg , bombarding him with requests to compose music for films. Having begun to collaborate with Hollywood, Legrand continued to work there for many years. Among his best-known scores are those for The Thomas Crown Affair (1968 film)|The Thomas Crown Affair (1968), which features the hit song " The Windmills of Your Mind ", and '' Summer of '42 '' (1971), which features another hit song, "The Summer Knows."
