One of the film's most notable highlights proved to be composer Georges Delerue's masterful score which tapped deep into the story's vivid mixture of human drama, magical whimsy and political intrigue.

Delerue's lush melodies were a key element in maintaining a sense of heart and emotional cohesion to the film's elusive story line and in retrospect now stands as one of the most powerful musical efforts from his illustrious career.

For this world premiere release, Zoetrope and Percepto have joined forces to present Delerue's score as it's never been heard before.

Newly remastered from the original 24-track master tapes, this state-of-the-art soundtrack showcases every exquisite note of Delerue's score, plus an additional series of bonus tracks featuring music scored though not used in the film, rare source cues and even the composer's original piano demos.

Also included is a full-color 24-page booklet with exhaustively researched liner notes by Daniel Schweiger featuring reminisces from director Deschanel and others, rare behind-the-scenes photos and much more.
