Synopsis
You Heard it At the Movies - and for the next eight weeks you can hear it again as award-winning film composer George Fenton reminds us of the big screen's greatest film scores.
George composed for stage and small screen, before his film score debut for Gandhi was Oscar nominated. His diverse film credits since then include scores for Cry Freedom, Memphis Belle, The Madness of King George and The Fisher King. Now George takes us on a unique and personal journey through the art - and the business - of writing music for film.
In tonight's show he looks at "Music to Picture" and includes heart stopping scores from Apocalypse Now, Chariots of Fire and Lawrence of Arabia.
