Le compositeur britannique de musiques de film John Barry, qui avait remporté cinq Oscars et s'est fait connaître notamment pour la musique des James Bond, est mort d'une crise cardiaque, à l'âge de 77 ans, a rapporté lundi la BBC.

On lui doit entre autres les musiques de plusieurs James Bond (Bons baisers de Russie, Goldfinger et On ne vit que deux fois) et d'autres films comme Out of Africa, Danse avec les loups ou Vivre libre. Il était aussi l'auteur de la musique de la série télévisée Amicalement vôtre.LEMONDE.FR
