While searching around on the 'net for a recording of the Richard Addinsell score used in the classic 1951 SCROOGE: A CHRISTMAS CAROL starring Alistair Sim, I was reminded of the fact that Richard Carpenter had recorded the "Warsaw Concerto", also by Richard Addinsell.
I hadn't realized that the 'Concerto' had been composed for a film though. Using the IMDB, it appears that it was from a 1941 movie called DANGEROUS MOONLIGHT, directed by the same Brian Desmond-Hurst that directed the 1951 SCROOGE.
Richard's rendition of the concerto on the LIVE AT THE PALLADIUM album is really well done, and I thought he deserved a little praise here.
