One of the most fascinating works on him is currently up on
BBC iPlayer and it's well worth a watch - the star-studded three-part 1995 #Arena doc :

Pretty sure the 1st time I really sat up & noticed a film score was seeing Enter the Dragon at an inappropriately young age (it was a pre-cert VHS, after all).

As soon a Lalo Schifrin's theme kicked in - wow, that is something else. #RIPLaloshifrin #Laloshifrin
