...study music. In Paris after the war he hooked up with two exceptional impresarios of French theater: Jean-Louis Barrault and Jean Vilar. For Vilar he wrote incidental music for modern readings of classical plays. In 1951, Georges Franju, a director of spare, uncompromising documentaries, hired Jarre to score his film essay on wounded veterans, the 1951 Hôtel des Invalides. In the next dozen years they would collaborate on two more shorts and five sepulchral features, including Head Against the Walls and Eyes Without a Face. Franju's images were so haunting they needed no assertive music...
...thought Jarre could be helpful in finding an aural complement to Lean's sand-swept tribute to T.E. Lawrence. As Stephen M. Silverman tells it in his excellent Lean biography, Spiegel had originally wanted Lawrence to have three composers: Jarre would do the dramatic music, while Aram Khachaturian scored the Arab scenes and Benjamin Britten the English. When those two estimable gents proved unavailable, Spiegel corralled Richard Rodgers into writing an Arabian motif and a "love theme" - for an all-male movie.

...while it was hard to find a movie for which Jarre didn't contribute the score. He put his name to more than 50 films in the '60s, another 36 in the '70s, 46 in the '80s.

O’Hara grounded to Penn shortstop Derek Vigoa, who knocked down the ball but had no play—at least until sophomore catcher Tyler Albright was waved around from second and easily gunned down, leaving the score knotted at 11. Two innings later, though, an RBI double by freshman Jeff Reynolds and a three-run homer from junior Dan Zailskas gave Harvard its second thrilling victory of the day.In an offensive slugfest that saw 29 hits and five balls clear the fence—four...
...stride just in time for the start of the Ivy season, the Crimson beat the Quakers after splitting a weekend series with Columbia, in which the team was limited to only one run in two games. But the bats were on fire for Harvard yesterday—the team scored eight runs on 19 hits to overpower its Penn counterparts.“It feels really good to have a winning record after our first weekend out,” co-captain Hayley Bock said yesterday. “We were pretty motivated to come out against Penn after splitting...
