Week 62 - The Full Monty: Beat Girl

We’re going for the full Monty for a month. No need to worry – there wont be any nudie pictures of the staff and we won’t run around the office naked either, at least not more than usual. Instead you get to look at and listen to a full album every week for a month.

Beat Girl is one of our favourite juvenile delinquent flicks. It also has one of the best scores, composed by John Barry for whom this was his first film score before he went on to fame with James Bond and the likes. Released in 1960 this was also the first long playing album of a film score released in Britain. A wonderful blend of hard hitting rock´n´roll, big brass section and a bit of jazz.
