The Song From Moulin Rouge by Mantovani & His Orchestra (14/8/53, 1 Week)

Moulin Rouge by Mantovani

No, not that Moulin Rouge: this one is from the 1952 film of the same name.  The song itself is quite lovely, assuming that you like vaguely stereotypical French orchestral pieces.  In the film it has lyrics, but this version, the one that conquered the UK charts, is solely instrumental, nothing but the aching of the violins covering the melody.  It’s really quite lovely.
