Eyes Without a Face

Maurice Jarre (born in Lyon, France, September 13, 1924 – March 29, 2009) was a French composer and conductor, father of Jean-Michel Jarre. To the mainstream, he is best known for his film scores, particularly those of David Lean: Lawrence of Arabia (1962), Doctor Zhivago (1965), and A Passage to India (1984). In my canon he is best-known for his scores for the films of Georges Franju: the splendid horrorish flicks Eyes Without a Face[1] (1960) and Judex[2] (1963).
