Wednesday Play: Death Of A Private (BBC) |
|
|
|
(13th December 1967) Death Of A Private makes liberal use of pop songs. The lyrics - based on the snatches of song sprinkled throughout Woyzeck - are Muller's first ventures into a genre he describes as "banal but immediately effective". The music was written by Ron Grainer (whose many compositions include the themes of Maigret, Boy Meets Girl, Steptoe And Son, and Doctor Who). "A most interesting assignment," says Grainer. "It was made quite clear to me that I wasn't expected to compete with Alban Berg or I wouldn't have attempted it. The numbers are in today's pop idiom and some were created in rehearsal with the group. Paper Blitz Tissue, playing The Majors. I hope plenty of pop stars are watching the programme because I think a couple of songs could easily be taken up and maybe turned into hits!". Cast: Dudley Sutton (Private Watt), Liam Redmond (The Doctor), John Nettleton (The Captain), Geraldine Sherman (Mary), Harry Fowler (The Comedian), John Little (The First Redcap), Ralph Watson (The Second Redcap), Dev Douglas (Andy), Charles Stuart (The Pop Singer), The Paper Blitz Tissue (The Majors), Margaret Nolan (Margie), Harry Hutchinson (The Sandwich Man), Dennis Golding (His Boy), Kenneth Cranham (The Young Intellectual), Godfrey James (The Sergeant), David Bedard (The Clergyman) and Jack Bligh (The Shopkeeper). This episode had a running time of eighty minutes and was transmitted from 9:05pm to 10:25pm. This episode is one of only five episodes from the seventh season of The Wednesday Play which still exists. |

According to the opening credits, Ron Grainer composed the score and also the song which is sung during the first ten minutes of the film by Georgie Fame. It is repeated at the very end of the film as Julie Christie walks down the ramp in the airport. The song is called "Dreams" with lyrics by Don Black. ... At some points it was hard to hear the words under all the other noises on the soundtrack.
Fairy tale dreams you weave simple and sweet Another song appears in the film, near the end as John Hurt was riding a motor bike down a street. According to the credits, it's "Close" music and lyrics by Ken Howard and Alan Blaikley, sung by Georgie Fame. (Elizabeth.) |
