Composer George Fenton looks at the film scores which define a star, including Korngold's scores for Errol Flynn and music from the Pink Panther and James Bond.

In the penultimate programme of the series, award winning composer George Fenton takes a look at those film scores which connect to an actor, or a role, so strongly that they become not only the character's signature tune, but can even define the actor themselves.

The musical gems include Korngold's writing for Errol Flynn, Bill Conti for the Rocky films, John Williams for Raiders of the Lost Ark, Henry Mancini for the Pink Panther - and the theme that universally identifies a screen character, regardless of several changes of actor in the role - John Barry's music and Monty Norman's theme for James Bond.
