Found this interesting review on the Movie Data Base:

I now have a copy of the Intrada (20th Century Fox) CD and I'm delighted. The movie, in its original 1966 release in this country, served as an epiphany for me - introducing me in a stunning way to Delerue at the height of his power. Reading the jacket notes with this CD, and of course listening to so many cues from the movie, served vividly to remind me of the sheer impact of that film back in 1966. In my small way I then introduced it to an appreciative student audience (at Otago University, New Zealand) where it had a surprisingly long run and kept being brought back in later years in a 16mm print, confounding its distributors who had seen it disappear almost without a trace in commercial cinemas. Thank you, Mme Colette Delerue, for preserving your late husband's treasure on original studio recording tapes.
Nevertheless, I am also grateful to DCM for their ongoing efforts to rescue the unreleased works of Delerue. I am sure that this has helped to prompt the rediscovery of the original recordings, and in the meantime I have enjoyed DCM's interpretation. Indeed, my own view is that -far from being disappointing- the DCM version of "Time" (the title song from Interlude - on the same disc as DCM's fresh approach to "Rapture") is superior to the original rendition of the song.
