Bridge of Sighs.

Want to ask Richard Moore something - go for it! He is a veritable walking encyclopedia and is never happier than talking music.

Apologies for the long gap since I last posted. I've been working on this with Canal, who own the footage, and they unfortunately have no paperwork relating to the film. We have checked with the BFI who have a copy negative for the film, and Canal have checked their own archive which has a 16mm print and the original 35mmcut negative for the film (which was used for the DVD release) and all of the versions are the same. None contain Bridge of Sighs and are identical to the version on the DVD.

We have no idea why there was an alternate track listing or where it came from and no contemporary proof that the song was ever filmed or released which leaves us at a bit of a dead end.

The only possibility remaining is that there is a different edit for another country - Where did you originally see the film?
