Matthew Sweet introduces a selection of film music inspired by the role of women during times of war in the week of the launch of "Allied" with a new score by Alan Silvestri.

The programme draws from films about historic women at the sharp end of battle, including music by Nina Humphreys for "Boudica"; Eric Serra and Mischa Spoliansky's music for films about Joan of Arc; and Craig Armstrong/AR Rahman's score for "Elizabeth - The Golden Age". The Classic Score of the Week is Erich Korngold's "The Sea Hawk".

Other scores in the programme include Stephen Warbeck's music for "Charlotte Gray"; Anthony Collins's "Odette" and Georges Delerue's "Mata Hari, Agent H21".
