The 60's remain a period that did have a lot of incredible turns as we've heard, yet some brands got ignored a bit thanks to their prominence waning. Look, jazz was still revolutionary then, though the genre was in a slightly overlooked place, since rock took a lot of media attention, yet there were many who did contribute to the incredible developments of the idiom that continues to happen, by the way. Of course, jazz in the era had a variety of names, which can be called their biggest masters. One of them, Herbie Hancock, began his career at the time and while his 60's do not fuse much with the other styles as his opus did later on, he showed his greatness. Then again, he kept surviving the working relationship with Miles Davis, which meant the latter saw him as a peer.

merry crisis!
Anyway did u know for 5 bucks on gumroad u can get the LA Theatreworks 2001 live audio Recording of James Goldman's play The Lion in Winter w/ Alfred Molina as Henry II?
And if u have an account on hoopla, it's free!
Highly recommend if you've enjoyed the movie. The play has a lot more lines and fun details, and the style of this recording is a lot more quick paced, with the live audience giving it some humor and liveliness.

Numéro 17 (1932)
Minuit. Un passant remarque une étrange lueur au n°17 de la rue, il s'agit d'une maison inhabitée mais dont la porte est ouverte. Intrigué, il entre et tombe sur un cadavre mais il s'aperçoit qu'à cette heure indue, il y a paradoxalement plus de monde qu'il pourrait le croire. En effet, il croise par la suite un vagabond légèrement dingue, des étranges « acheteurs » qui se présentent à la porte, armés, et une ravissante jeune femme qui tombe du ciel. Pour ne rien arranger les choses, le cadavre disparaît de lui-même ! La nuit risque d'être assez longue pour les protagonistes...
Ce film policier mérite clairement d'être visionner pour la mise en scène d'Alfred Hitchcock qui nous montre déjà un bel étendu de son talent en matière de suspense, notamment sur toute les séquences se déroulant dans une étrange maison qui semble à l'abandon. Le casting fait lui un travail honnête, sans être éblouissant et la photographie est pour l'époque de qualité. Une oeuvre sympathique et qui est à voir comme une curiosité dans la filmographie du maître britannique.
