- For decades Michel Michelet (1894-1995) was known in Hollywood as a leading film composer, responsible for more than a hundred film scores, including some of the classic film noir soundtracks of the 1940s and 1950s. What his movie music fans did not know was that the apparent Frenchman was actually a Jew from Kiev, born Mikhail Isaakovich Levin. Furthermore, this self-professed “Russian-French-American” composed one of the great Jewish piano quintets of the twentieth century "Elegie for String Orchestra, op. 4 (1923) Arr. by the composer for string quartet and piano" ( (Website "Pro Musica Hebraica", viewed 17 December 2023) )
Wikipedia description:
Michel Michelet (June 14, 1893 – December 28, 1995) was a composer of film scores. Born as Mordkhay Khaimovich Levin to a Jewish family in Kyiv (then in the Russian Empire), he moved to Western Europe before settling in France where he became a celebrated composer. He worked on many films during the 1930s following the introduction of sound film. Following the Nazi invasion of France in 1940, he immigrated to the United States where he continued to work on Hollywood productions including several films noir. Later he provided scores for some European films in the post-war era. He was nominated twice at the 17th Academy Awards for Best Original Score but did not win.
