The question seems to say that the third B is the film score, not the composer thereof?

[Anna]

My thoughts entirely but struggling with a French Blech...............................

Oh, there is such a joke there anton Sorry

[Norfolk Born]

The third 'Blech' is indeed a film score - by a famous French-born composer - to an adaptation of a famous novel by a German.

[antongould]

Oh, there is such a joke there anton Sorry

oh dear my lack of a classical education exposed again!

[Norfolk Born]

The German novel was published in 1959, and the film adaptation premiered 20 years later.

I haven't got any of this Blech question... why Anna saw a joke in there, and why anton felt it exposed a lack of classical eduction. I'm totally lost! I am sitting it out till C...

Oh, do keep at the back Duckie. Is it Gunter Grass and Blechtrommel?

[Don Petter]

He is at the back, with me.

[antongould]

Or the Tin Drum for those without the classics.............

[Anna]

He is at the back, with me.

I did try some (3 actually) Black Farmer's sausages tonight, cooked in th'oven and jolly nice they were too. But still not as good as the home-made ones from my local butcher in Cricklewood - O'Farrell's by name, but now run by a tall blond Polish gent and thus known round these parts as O'Farrellski's

[Norfolk Born]

Well - now we've got all the answers, who gets to set 'C'?
Leo Blech found fame as an opera conductor in Berlin, and Harry Blech as the conductor of the London Mozart Players. Maurice Jarre wrote the music for the 1979 film of Gunter Grass's 1959 novel Die Blechtrommel (The Tin Drum).
mercia was the first to mention Blech (Harry), but Anna then came up with Leo and Blechtrommel. So I think it might be time for a question from the Principality?

[antongould]

Agreed
