Did You Know?
| Trivia | The only dramatic theatrical feature film other than this movie where jazz music legend Miles Davis composed the music score had been about thirty-three years earlier for Louis Malle's French film 'Elevator to the Gallows' ('Ascenseur pour l'échafaud') (1958). In the earlier picture, Miles Davis apparently recorded the music with a quartet of French and US musicians in just a few hours, from 11pm to 5am one night, improvising each number, and allegedly sipping champagne with actress Jeanne Moreau and director Louis Malle. Part of 'Dingo' (1991) is filmed in Paris, France. The score for 'Dingo' (1991) was composed by both Davis and Michel Legrand. See more » |
