French film composer Georges Delerue (1925) studied his craft under prestigious movie musician Darius Milhaud. More interested in establishing mood than producing hit theme songs, Delerue contributed the scores to over 150 motion pictures. In his native France, Delerue wrote music for such highly regarded New Wave films as Hiroshima Mon Amour (1959), Shoot the Piano Player (1960) and Jules et Jim (1961).
