This film is usually known by the title of Graham Greene's novel on which it is based – 'England Made Me'. However it also has an alternative title of 'Rape of the 3rd Reich'. And that is perhaps more indicative of what this film is about – the lives of several 'ordinary' people in Germany a few years prior to WW2, being affected by the increasing power of the Nazi party all around them. The central character is Anthony Farrant played by archetypal Englishman Michael York. His sister Kate played by Hildegarde Neil, works for a rich but ruthless and cynical German industrialist Erich Krogh (Peter Finch) in Germany. Having left England for new challenges Anthony meets up with his sister (initially in France) and she then secures him a job in Krogh's company. Anthony later forms a relationship with an English woman he meets in Germany – Liz Davidge – played by 'English Rose' (and famously U.K D.J. Tony Blackburn's ex-wife) Tessa Wyatt. Anthony also forms a friendship with journalist 'Minty', superbly acted as a 'slob' character by Michael Hordern. Anthony sometimes tells the journo perhaps too much – at a time when the Nazis were seeking control of the press – and this forms the basis for the later scenarios in the movie. The final key character is Haller (Joss Ackland); he works as Krogh's right-hand man and plays a central role in scenes towards the end of the film. This is clearly a lavish production, the photography and sets are superb, and the film budget must have been extensive. The movie also contains a raft of stars.

Again the versitility of John Scott as a composer is shown. He weaves his jazzy score with some bitter sweet melodies to capture the turmoil of the 1930's

The restoration was made from a British LP copy at 24 bit transfer. The score has never been released on CD. Tracks 1-13 are the film score Tracks 14-18 are various period songs from the film.
It takes time and effort in recording these selections so would be good to see some of the folks here share a few things of rarity. And as always buy and share a few Cds and Lps to support the music industry

Music composed and conducted by John Scott
Music Performed by The London Philharmonic Orchestra
Recorded at Olympic Recording Studios, London
Engineer Keith Grant

Ive listened it

a typical Scott score that stands out in the aquatic parts, like the lake. This man was born to make music for the sea, lakes, water in general, probably a frustrated seaman like myself

thanks for your hard work, the sound in some tracks is quite good, but more importantly, without your transfer Id never listened to this, so you're doing magic as far as Im concerned.

Now I want to see the movie.
