Until September. John Barry

Mo Alexander (Karen Allen) misses the plane in Paris that is carrying her tour group and her luggage back home, and she finds that it will take several days for the travel agent to solve the problem. In the meantime she meets Xavier de la Perouse (Thierry Lhermitte), a true Parisian who sees her as an opportunity to enjoy himself while his family is out of town. Mo reluctantly begins an affair with him, wrestling with her conscience all the way. She is a challenge to Xavier's cultural identity so he can't easily dismiss her. They enjoy a beautiful physical and emotional relationship, and in the end, being in love with Mo alters Xavier on a fundamental level. The gorgeous main theme is introduced in the “Main Title”, emerging from soft flutes and tinkling bells into a rhapsodic theme for piano and strings, which alternate between each other as the melody develops. This core trio of instrumental ideas – flute, strings, a piano – is the anchor of the entire score, dominating the sound, playing off each other in that haunting, delicate, inimitable way that Barry had. Even the subliminal elements, like the way the plucked harps and basses are often prominently featured in the pauses between performances of the lead theme, are clearly identifiable as John Barry staples.
