Title: Pass of arms Post by: Ian_ on June 26, 2007, 04:19:37 PM Sorry if this has been dealt with before (couldn't find any mention in the search engine), but I wondered if anyone had seen the film which featured these Sandy Denny performances, how the music was used, and whether copies of the film were available in any format?

never heard of this one Title: Re: Pass of arms Post by: Malcolm on June 26, 2007, 07:41:10 PM Nor me, but a quick ref to No More Sad Refrains page 153 reveals : a 10 minute suite for a short TV film entitled PoArms. She had to 'race round various hammy studios, make up tunes to fit words herself but ended up at Island'.
Deliberate precis so as not to infringe copyright or annoy the author (see thread re NMSRefrains) Title: Re: Pass of arms Post by: Nick Reg on June 27, 2007, 10:16:57 AM I was lucky enough to pick this up in a bargain bin many years ago but have no idea what the film's about!!

Title: Re: Pass of arms Post by: Tasha on June 27, 2007, 12:23:06 PM The film is listed in the BFi as being a film about Two knights fighting to the death in a battle in a forest. Peter Elford was the director and him and the script writer wrote the songs sandy sings.It was a short film, around 1/2 an hour, and won a prize at the Cork Film Festival.There is one copy of the film in the archive and it has never been released on video or DVD.
Anyone ever seen the other film that she did music for Swedish Fly Girls?

I'd never heard of the film till I got the box set, so can't answer the other questions. That track and one other are on the expanded edition of Sandy.
