The Cool Mikado
The Cool Mikado is a British musical film made in 1962, directed by Michael Winner, (who makes a short appearance as an airline passenger a la Hitchcock near the start of the film) and produced by Harold Baim, with music arranged by Martin Slavin and John Barry.
It starred Frankie Howerd as Ko-Ko, Lionel Blair and Stubby Kaye.
The script was by Michael Winner, from an adaptation by Maurice Browning.
Based on the Gilbert and Sullivan comic opera "The Mikado", the plot is reset into contemporary Japan as a comic gangster story.
The dialogue is largely rewritten, and several of the well known musical items are omitted.
The music that remains is re-orchestrated into styles popular in the early 1960s, including the twist, and the Cha-Cha-Cha.
Filmed entirely on a sound stage, stock footage was used to provide Japanese atmosphere between scenes.
This footage looks like one of the many travelogues for which producer Baim is best known but according to Winner's autobiography
this footage was specially shot.
Winner credits the film's problems to the fact it was underfunded.
No attempt appears to have been made to disguise the stage-bound filming.
The colourful sparsely dressed sets, not always tending towards realism, give the film a surreal quality.
This film was Frankie Howerd's first musical, and it led to his starring in "
A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum" on stage and in several conventional Gilbert and Sullivan productions, including Sir Joseph Porter in "H.M.S. Pinafore" and the Learned Judge in "Trial by Jury".
However, Howerd said that "not only was it the worst film ever made, but was the one production in show-business that I'm positively ashamed to have appeared in".
John Barry (composer)
John Barry Prendergast, (3 November 1933 – 30 January 2011) was an English composer and conductor of film music.
He composed the scores for 11 of the "James Bond" films between 1963 and 1987, and also arranged and performed the "James Bond Theme" to the first film in the series, 1962's "Dr. No".
He wrote the Grammy- and Academy Award-winning scores to the films "Dances with Wolves" and "Out of Africa", as well as the theme for the British television cult series "The Persuaders!", in a career spanning over 50 years.
In 1999, he was appointed OBE for services to music.
Born in York, Barry spent his early years working in cinemas owned by his father.
During his national service with the British Army in Cyprus, Barry began performing as a musician after learning to play the trumpet.
Upon completing his national service, he formed his own band in 1957, The John Barry Seven.
He later developed an interest in composing and arranging music, making his début for television in 1958.
He came to the notice of the makers of the first James Bond film "Dr. No", who were dissatisfied with a theme for James Bond given to them by Monty Norman.
This started a successful association between Barry and Eon Productions that lasted for 25 years.
He received many awards for his work, including five Academy Awards; two for "Born Free", and one each for "The Lion in Winter" (for which he also won the first BAFTA Award for Best Film Music), "Dances with Wolves" and "Out of Africa" (both of which also won him Grammy Awards).
He also received ten Golden Globe Award nominations, winning once for Best Original Score for "Out of Africa" in 1986.
Barry completed his last film score, "Enigma", in 2001 and recorded the successful album "Eternal Echoes" the same year.
He then concentrated chiefly on live performances and co-wrote the music to the musical "Brighton Rock" in 2004 alongside Don Black.
In 2001, Barry became a Fellow of the British Academy of Songwriters, Composers and Authors, and, in 2005, he was made a Fellow of the British Academy of Film and Television Arts.
Barry was married four times and had four children.
He moved to the United States in 1975 and lived there until his death in 2011.
