Michel Strogoff
One of the most popular TV mini series broadcasted on Iranian TV just before 1979 was Michel Strogoff. I remember it very well because at that time I was very fond of Jules Verne (and I am still fond of him). Its broadcast was continued even after 1979 but with lots of censorship that eventually changed the story line completely and made it so stupid. There are many versions of this story produced for TV. The one broadcasted on Iran was a French production. The main character of the movie who played the role of Michele Strogoff was Jean-Pierre Decourt.
I think one of the strongest point of that mini series was its music which was composed by the famous French composer Vladimir Cosma. Those Iranians who are old enough probably remember that music very well. I was looking for that music for a long time until I found it recently. I put it here temporarily. Listening to music like this brings back such good memories for me. You will probably enjoy the music even if you did not see the series before. This version is only 32kbps with minimum quality to reduce the webserver loading. You will need Windows Media Player plugin for listening to the music.
I have been looking for this 2 DVD set for a long time, were you able to find it? Preferably with English dubbing or English subtitile. I have hard time finding the soundtrack, too.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,

The music was fabulous. I can remember it when it was shown in the Iran TV. It is possible to put the other one? I mean the music with fast theme. I adore the series and the music. How can we find the movie?
Thank you very much

It brings back so many memories. I got tears in my eyes when I listened to the song you put here. It's fabolous!
I've been looking for that soundtrack everywhere, but couldn't find it. Not even on Kazaa...I specially loved the main song.

Anyways, thank for bringing back all the memories...
