There was and never will be a composer quite like Barry Gray. Along with Derek Meddings he was an absolute powerhouse within the Gerry and Sylvia Anderson canon
Barry Gray's main title for "Doppelganger" is one of the most outstanding pieces of theme music ever written for a film. He knew how to write for full orchestras, and he successfully incorporated electronic instruments into his scores.
The music that starts to play when Jason sees his opposite self in the mirror and rushes towards it is just amazing. We’re looking at a man who was driven all his life by the desperation for answers, and now, right at the end, he finally thinks he sees them on the other side of the glass... One hell of a movie, and I feel privileged to be one of the few that truly appreciate it
Yes. That says it. My favorite scene was when they crashed and were rescued by the man in the rocket pack. Then when they start to interrogate RosscJason Webb says "Convey our thanks to the Chinese"
@jackbassindale4336: This movie was burned into my brain the first time that I saw it as a pre-adolescent. It’s one of my absolute favorite movies in my decades old life
@@lilybond6485 I love going back to classics like this. I’m 23 now but I don’t think a sci-fi can get any better than the likes of this. I really do wish I’d been born a few decades earlier
@jack bassindale: I understand.i I lived through the 60s but wish so much that I could have been older - wish I could have been in my early 20s - taking a trip to London and staying there for a couple of months/years. It was such a great decade for everything - movies - music - just everything. Wish I had a time machine and could go back for a while. One can dream.
Recently I started using a wheelchair, and that music goes through my head as I speed down hallway expecting a mirror in front of me. Personally it terrifies me, but I understand
@markeidemiller3105: I am envisioning that. Don’t worry. There is something on the other side for all of us. Don’t know what it is but have an inner sense of knowing that we will be fine - on the other side.
I grew up loving all of Gerry & Sylvia Anderson's creation, most notably Space: 1999 and this movie. The fictional EuroSec shaped my dreams and eventual reality of visiting Europe. Thanks for the theme!
This is such lovely 🥰 🎶 music!It’s so relaxing 😎 and soothing to listen to!The movie 🎥 is great,too!Now,it make’s me feel old,because,I saw this as a child 🧒 back in the 1960”s.I still have this wonderful movie from the 1960”s,too!Two thumb’s up!😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
One of my favourite si fi s late sixties , amazing story all ways used to be on a Saturday morning , hope I don't wake up on the morning see everything in reversed ???? Ha ,the ended credits music of UFO building up used to send goosebumps on my skin look what effect Barry Gray's music sounds do to you WOW.
Many thanks for this. In hindsight a silly movie with actors doing their collective best with what was handed to them...and a superb film score. But after my first viewing it DID prompt me to follow up on its story premise, so allow me to commend some outside reading: Arthur C. Clarke's short story "Technical Error," Martin Gardner's final edition of The Ambidextrous Universe, and Neil F. Comins' What If the Earth Had Two Moons?, a sort-of sequel to his What If the Moon Didn't Exist? No spoilers intended; view the film first in one sitting and you'll appreciate the supplemental reading all the more.
I love this movie, but it really needs updating. Certain special effects are really dated looking like the eyeball film camera. The scene where the woman is struck by the man is unnecessary to the plot and very misogynistic. The scene where the crew arbitrarily crashes in Mongolia is stupid and contrived. The scene could be re written as the lander is shot down by an anti aircraft missile by an over zealous air defense force.@@gastonbouchard9330
Back when this movie was made, the technology for movie special effects was in its infancy and was a very limiting factor in what could be shown on the screen. Today with computer generated images, almost anything that can be imagined can be depicted on the screen. In this movie the Negative Earth is shown as more or less to be a clone of Positive Earth with a few minor differences. Can you imagine what Negative Earth could be depicted as with todays technology? How about an Anti Earth where the people walk and talk backwards. Or maybe an Earth where dinosaurs never went extinct and have a technology and civilization equal to Homo Sapiens.
Thinnes may well have been beautiful, but Ian Hendry had solidity and conviction. If Doppleganger is ever rebooted, then both American and British astronauts need respectful and excellent re-casting!
fantastic film...i see more and more and accept new details about the history...JASON WEEB chef of EUROSEC!?! ...now JAMES WEEB...prediction? any question?
Yes,it was Herbert Lom who was in the wheelchair!Opp’s!No,I’m wrong!It was;Patrick Whymark who is in the wheelchair,and goes down the hall,and crashes into the mirror in the Nursing 🧑🍼 home.
There is one currently for sale on Discogs for £40, or one on ebay for £100, or cheaper still to join Fanderson where they sell them to members for £18.
Herbert Lom is in this film, but only in the opening scenes as an enemy spy who has a glass eye with a camera built in to it. The man in the wheelchair is Patrick Wymark.
This was from an old cassette tape which I converted to cd, the track listing written on the tape just has Track 1 / BGCD 07. No other information on the cassette? I think this originaly came from the US and apparently Barry Gray was known to give away much of his material overseas, I have this on good authority. Its not bad quality really considering how it started out.

I love this movie and saw it on television here in the US when it was shown one time in the early 1970's, maybe 1974. I now have the DVD. Yeah!
Best movie. the script is visionnary. So long looking for it. Enjoying the music that reminds me...
Barry Gray was Britain's John Williams
You mean that John Williams was America's Barry Gray, surely?
Barry Gray was Britain’s Ennio Morricone
yeah!

Lily Bons. I was thinking about that too. Thank you for your comment.
robertmcdonald8342: We’ll be there.
Barry Gray was one-of-a-kind.
Britain has produced two god-level composers named Barry... Barry Gray and the incomparable John Barry Prendegast
Ron Grainer was also an excellent composer who created tv & movie themes from the same era.
Richard Rodney Bennet and John Dankworth.
This is music at it’s very best!Barry Grays music for;Journey to the far side of the 🌞 Sun!It’s haunting music,too!
They don’t write movie scores like this anymore 👍🏻
Roy Thinnes and that beautiful movie soundtrack........a dream!
He still looks great.
This score is just hypnotic, words do not do it justice....
Beautiful music from one of my all time favorite composers. Barry Gray was one of a kind, God rest his soul.
Amazing use of the ondes martenot.
I grew up loving all of Gerry & Sylvia Anderson's creation, most notably Space: 1999 and this movie. The fictional EuroSec shaped my dreams and eventual reality of visiting Europe. Thanks for the theme!
Love this music tons! Fantastic film when I was little still adore it
absolutely incredible. Amazing film and captivating music.
Hauntingly calming music score 🎼😘🙏

I give this movie a 8 out of 10
The score 10.epecially the space.flight.music
The ending was.interesting
2:03 is so beautiful

Great music for a flawed film which I dearly love.
OH THAT BROUGHT BACK MEMORIES. 😁😁😁 SIGH.
Super pelicula la vi en el cine cuando se estreno en Guadalajara Mexico
Superb music. Barry Gray was a genius who never got his critical due even within fandom.
Would love to see a re-make of this movie -- but it would be hard to top or get someone as gorgeous as Roy Thinnes.

This movie should be remade, in fact it DEMANDS to be remade, but it MUST retain the Barry Gray score!
Why remade? Don´t you like the original? .... BTW, this is my real surname.

Yes. I loved this movie but a remake would be awesome.

An underrated film and arguably some of Barry's finest work

Killer ending!!!
I’ll have to watch it again. I don’t remember the ending -- so it will be like seeing it for the first time.
@@lilybond6485 wild wheelchair fu! (apologies to Joe Bob Briggs)
rickety wheelchair, no brakes, sloping hallway, senile old guy, you know...
Main theme`s final part implies prospecting future to come, out of the entire tragic depiction of this SiFi movie
They were contemporaries both had movie and tv credits
Both produced some of the best and well lnown music on sides of the pond
fantastic film...i see more and more and accept new details about the history...JASON WEEB chef of EUROSEC!?! ...now JAMES WEEB...prediction? any question?
Where did you find this in stereo? Loved this music in the movie.
I would like you to make a video that replaces the opening video of COLOSSUS “THE FORBIN PROJECT” (1970) with this sound source😄
Yes,it was Herbert Lom who was in the wheelchair!Opp’s!No,I’m wrong!It was;Patrick Whymark who is in the wheelchair,and goes down the hall,and crashes into the mirror in the Nursing 🧑🍼 home.

I've only seen this film just the once, wasn't the late Herbert Lom , in this as the bloke in the wheel chair.
