What Is Don’t Shoot the Composer About?

The premise of Don’t Shoot the Composer without spoilers.

Don’t Shoot the Composer profiles legend Georges Delerue and introduces Ken Russell’s style. It opens with a witty pastiche spoofing noir, then moves to slap‑stick bits, verité of Delerue’s family, and a Vietnam‑war montage.
