- S&S: What is your favourite film soundtrack music and why do you like it so much?
- "My initial reaction was to list Roland Joffé's The Mission (1986) with Ennio Morricone's mesmerising score, but on reflection my favourite and most memorable film soundtrack would have to be another Morricone score, Sacco and Vanzetti (1971) directed by Giuliano Montaldo. The vocal contribution by Joan Baez is particularly haunting and the film has remained in my memory despite only one viewing 20 years ago."
