R.I.P. Francis Lai...
...a wonderful composer with a distinctively "French" style of composition, often characterised by harmonic development around the cycle of fifths (or, going back the other way, around the cycle of fourths). His film theme A Man And A Woman is a good example.
Note to Hank (if he ever sees this site): A Man And A Woman would be a great gypsy jazz guitar number.
