      Woss goin' on?
      Anyway...the third film featuring a score by Malcolm Arnold was 'The Sleeping Tiger', starring Dirk Bogarde. Joseph Losey adopted the name Victor Hanbury when making it. It was based on a novel by Maurice Moiseiwitsch.

        Good Lord, I was barking up the wrong tree.

        Mercia's gone to ground, is woss going on!

        Can't enlighten me in the matter of Stephanie Cole, NB? Am I going to enjoy the week's Corries this weekend?

        I have rustled up a quick B as mercia doesn't want to. It's a bit simple and boring but I am at work

        Which B unites a pair of composers who each wrote a violin concerto, with a fictional head of the KGB?

              Karla wasn't KGB head, was he. But General Gogol was I think.

                          Ah; you spotted the flaw in my impeccable reasoning, then?

                            Well, Gogol was the KGB Head in the Bond films.
                            There is a Violin Concerto by Thomaso Vitali, whose surname is shared by a Bong character.
                            But unless there's a Vln Conc by Adolf Goldfinger, or Juan Scaramanga, I'm stuck thereafter.

                              Clue: who played Gogol?? (I met him once. He had hands like big bunches of red bananas )

                                Walter Gotell, according to wiki

                                He played Charlie Barlow's boss in Softly, Softly Task Force, iirc.

                                James Baldwin didn't mention his strange hands in his book "Go Tell It On The Mountain"
