Buster...I believe Francoise Sagan's novel was called "Aimee Vous Brahms?" (Do you love Brahms?). However, I don't think there is anything about Brahms, in the movie. I remember seeing the movie many years ago...but can't remember much about the plot, now.

Thanks for the great post...I was wondering if anyone had the names for the tracks? I checked the 'Soundtrack Collector" which usually has listings of the different recordings/releases and a detailed track list but no such luck on 'Bonjour Tristesse' track names...
Gil,
Sagan did write a novel called Aimez-vous Brahms? and it was made into a film - but this is a different novel; her first.
Ron-O,
There are no track names on the label or cover for this one.
Buster...yeah, you're right. It was the film "Goodbye, Again". The main title song "Say No More, It's Goodbye", is based on the third movement (I think), of Brahm's 3rd Symphony.

Wow. This is great.
I wish I had the Juliette Greco albums too.
(Not really a hint... but it could be) ;)
I did get one of my Greco LPs out to listen - and I gotta tell you, while I do like her, her approach gets a little monotonous.
The music for the movie "Aimez-vous Brahms?" was written by and conducted by Georges Auric as well. Check out that Kenny Clarke was the drummer for most part of that score.

Hi, Buster, it's Denys, again...
Can you re-up this precious gem, please?
Thanks in advance...

Another thank you from one of your most grateful admirers. I saw this film on TCM recently--before I knew about her turbulent life and the very likely role the FBI played in ending it. Let's just call her's an "assisted" suicide. But before she became a sort of Patty Hearst she was just Jean, the most beautiful newspaper seller Paris has ever seen.
thank you. -a.v.
Only nine years late, but here are the track titles as revealed on the French pressing of this LP (RCA 530.239):
01 - Introduction
02 - Promenade en voiture / Bonjour tristesse
03 - Cave à Saint Germain des Près
04 - Cécile
05 - La calanque
06 - Le sentier
07 - Les Halles
08 - La chambre
09 - Le casino
10 - Le petit déjeuner
11/12 - La découverte
13/14 - L'accident et Finale
Tracks 11 and 12 are on the French LP as one long track with this collective title, as are tracks 13 and 14. (And the two vocal numbers are not the versions by Gréco, but ones sung in French by Laura Mellec.)
Boursin - Many thanks. I pulled out the American record again recently to make sure there were no track listings. (There were not.) Surprised to learn that Gréco is not on the French LP. I don't think I have ever heard anything by Laura Mellac.
Hi Ron-O here you have the complete tracks

thanks!
Many thanks dear Buster for this ! We don't have so many recordings of Auric's music. He was part of the famed 'Groupe des Six' (Tailleferre, Honegger, Milhaud, Durey, Poulenc...!) but together with Durey not he was the most known , probably because he wrote mainly film music. He was good orchestrator (eg Les Fâcheux -there is an excellent recording of this ballet under Markevitch/Monté-Carlo Orchestra). Juliette Gréco is, as ever, amazing !
Thanks, Jean - I will be on the lookout for Les Fâcheux.
Marcelle Meyer Fan --- I have her box and listen to it frequently. Any rare bits hiding in your wonderful collection ?
Anon - I don't believe I have a thing by her. There were three sets issued by EMI, but I have no clue about availability.
