La Folie des Grandeurs
(Delusion of Grandeur)
Here is the original score for a french cult comedy film with Louis de Fun�s and Yves Montand, directed by G�rard Oury.
The famous singer/composer Michel Polnareff provided the whole score with the help of Herv� Roy. The film is some kind of spoof of Ruy Blas by Victor Hugo.
Even if the film is a comedy, Polnareff delivered a very inspired soundtrack. The main theme for example is really "Morriconesque" and epic, but the soundtrack worth the download just for "Th�me d’Amour", a truely wonderful melody. I’m waiting for your opinion on it 😉
Yves Montand, who plays Blaze in the film also sings at one point (Flamenco Blaze). He had a singing career too.
Anyway, enjoy !

your ost has more diversity than his radio music.thanks for the inspiration.
Many years later I discovered that Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones were
session players when this song was recorded in London (1966).
Thanks for sharing this rare Polnaref!
Cool stuff.
