Thanks for remembering Kenneth Heeley-Ray. I enjoyed Anthony Asquith's "Woman in Question" (1950) not just because it was one of Dirk Bogarde's earlier yet excellent films, but also for its multiple points of view which made for a clever story and gave actors an interesting challenge. The old question of what is truth and does truth depend on the point of view of the viewer is an old and fascinating ploy in film and fiction. It certainly worked here and also in other works, such as Kurosawa's "Rashômon" (1950). [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/clapping.gif[/img]

But my favourite of the films Kenneth Heeley-Ray did the sound for was Jean Shepherd's "Christmas Story" (1983). No matter how old I get, it's a Christmas pleasure.

Best,
