FRANCIS LAI - Les Petroleuses Ost (Sealed) (LP)

Les P?troleuses (aka Frenchie King) is a curious and iconic Spanish-French coproduction directed by Christian-Jacque in 1971, in which women assumed the traditional roles of hard men in the Old West. It starred Claudia Cardinale and Brigitte Bardot as outlaw sisters who inherit a ranch and try to settle down and develop relationships with a neighboring family that includes many brothers. The film was a success, particularly because of the two actresses, and Francis Lai’s music was also very successful. The composer, an accordionist born in Nice and musical director for Edith Piaf’s last tours, emerged victorious with this western assignment. Lai provides lovely melodies, action music, three beautiful songs and lots of fun!
