A legend persists that in the 9th Century a woman sat on Throne of Rome.
The legend has been told many times, and this dramatization from director Michael Anderson vividly conveys the superstitions that prevailed at that time.
Bringing the film to life is Maurice Jarre’s magisterial score released here for the first time in a superbly produced booklet that traces the history of this remarkable tale. It is released by us exclusively for the very first time.
With a fine essay by noted film music journalist Randall D. Larson, and an appreciation of his friend, Maurice Jarre by James Fitzpatrick, this is a fitting tribute to the late composer.
Packed with magnificent photographs from on and off the set, this Collectors’ Edition is one we are confident you will be delighted to own.

A lesser-known, but hugely important contributor – indeed, a pivotal element of the film, was the so-called “Sputnik Code” that was composed by electronica-mesiter, Tristram Cary. Cary never saw the finished film, and, according to his widow Jane, had no idea that Goldsmith was the film’s main musical contributor. He [Cary] had even suggested to director David Greene, that he would have liked to have written the entire score. Tristram Cary is well known to Hammer Horror and Dr. Who buffs for his contributions to background music. This CD features all of Cary’s studio work that has never previously been released as well as the original preferred version of “Comes The Night” by British songstress, Anita Harris. |
