Across the Bridge (1957)

Julian Bream ... musician: guitar played by

Soundtrack composed by James Bernard

"Julian Bream and Arda Mandikian performed on the soundtrack. Bream played Bernard's suitably Mexican theme (with its echoes of Rodrigo's Guitar Concerto and Chopin's D minor Prelude, Op. 28, No. 24) and Mandinkian sang the lament that accompanies the funeral of Paul Scarff. The lament is loosely based on an inversion of the main title theme and it creates a similar effect to "Vissi d'arte" the aria in which the eponymous heroine laments her fate in Puccini's opera Tosca."

James Bernard, Composer to Count Dracula, A Critical biography by David Huckvale, p. 68
