Hollywood On 52nd Street

Watch What Happens and I Will Wait For You The film score established composer Michel Legrand’s reputation in Hollywood, where he later scored other films, winning three Oscars . In North America, two of the film’s songs, the main theme “I Will Wait For You” and “Watch What Happens” originally titled Recit de Cassard or Cassard’s Song. They became hits and were recorded by many artists. Both were given new English lyrics by lyricist Norman Gimbel and Tony Bennett’s  classic performance of the theme song was added to one version of the soundtrack CD.

The Story: The Umbrellas of Cherbourg or the French translation Les Parapluies de Cherbourg is a 1964 French musical film directed by Jacques Demy, starring Catherine Deneuve and Nino Castelnuovo. The film dialogue is all sung as recitative, even the most casual conversation.

Umbrellas is the middle film in an informal “romantic trilogy” of Demy films that share some of the same actors, characters and overall look; it comes after Lola (1961) and before The Young Girls of Rochefort (1967)
