Nanny McPhee

The wondrous and fantastical score to Nanny McPhee is by composer Patrick Doyle and performed by the world-famous London Symphony Orchestra. One of the finest of all contemporary film composers, Patrick Doyle's fame began with his monumental score for Kenneth Branagh's acclaimed production of Henry V. Doyle's exceptional music has been heard in such films as Sense and Sensibility, Hamlet, A Little Princess, Gosford Park, and Calendar Girls. Doyle also scored the blockbuster Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. About the Film: As father of seven of the naughtiest children in the world, Mr. Brown has lost control. Seventeen nannies have been driven away and he has lost all hope of ever finding another. But then, one day, a mysterious and magical figure turns up at the door. Her name is Nanny McPhee. With her bizarre looks and special powers, it seems that the Brown children may finally have found their match. The screenplay for Nanny McPhee was written by Emma Thompson and is an adaptation of the Nurse Matilda books, written in the early 1960s by Christianna Brand. The story is set in the late Victorian/early Edwardian England in a small village on the edge of London. Emma Thompson, the only person to have won Academy Awards for both acting and writing, also plays the title role, opposite Colin Firth, Kelly McDonald and Angela Lansbury. Kelly McDonald, who recently starred as Peter Pan in Finding Neverland, joins the cast as Evangeline, the kindly scullery maid, while Angela Lansbury, winner of six Golden Globe Awards and four Tony Awards, makes a welcome return to the big screen after an absence of two decades. The impressive cast also includes Celia Imrie and BAFTA winner Imelda Staunton (Vera Drake).
