AKA: Ragazzo del mare, Il (Italy)
Weltumsegelung, Die (West Germany)
Based on the true story of a 16 year-old boy who sailed around the world on a small boat, John Barry's delightful score is here on CD for the first time. Effectively creating the sound of the high seas, the CD also features Lyn Paul (of the New Seekers) singing the Don Blacks' 'Sail The Summer Winds'. The film, although only a minor success, was produced by Gregory Peck and had very high production values, but it's the music we're talking about here. As usual, Harkit have produced a beautifully illustrated and fully annotated booklet written by film musicologist and John Barry specialist, Darren Allison. Highly recommended!
