John Barry Prendergast, OBE (3 November 1933 – 30 January 2011) was an English composer and conductor of film music. He was best known for composing the soundtracks to many of the James Bond films.
King Rat is a 1965 American war film written and directed by Bryan Forbes and starring George Segal and James Fox. They play Corporal King and Flight Lieutenant Marlowe, respectively, two World War II prisoners of war in a squalid camp in Singapore. Among the supporting cast are John Mills and Tom Courtenay. The film was adapted from James Clavell’s novel King Rat (1962), which in turn is partly based on Clavell’s experiences as a POW at Changi Prison in Singapore in the latter part of the Second World War.
The film’s score was composed and conducted by John Barry and released in 1965 by Fontana Records on LP.
