Roy Budd famously composed his best ever film score for my father’s production Get Carter. I liked him at this stage of his career when he was young and uncomplicated. He didn’t even practice his piano playing but was a huge talent. You should try and get hold of his magnificent orchestral score for another of my father’s films “Something to Hide” which was known as “Shattered” in the USA. Later on Roy married the marvellous singer Caterina Valente and became more interested in financial schemes and less about his music. A great pity in my opinion since he was a gifted music man.
