The Background Beat is a 1965 documentary that explores the intersection of music and film. Directed by Ralph Nelson, it features composer Lalo Schifrin discussing his approach to scoring the film Once a Thief.
The Background Beat is relatively scarce in collector circles, often overshadowed by mainstream releases from the era. However, it has a niche appeal among those interested in film scores and the evolution of film music. The documentary was originally released as a promotional piece, making original prints somewhat harder to find. Collectors seem to appreciate it for its unique insights into Lalo Schifrin's creative process, adding a layer of value for those keen on the intersection of music and film.
