Mark Orton is the composer of the upcoming comedy drama My Old Lady. The film marks the directorial debut of Israel Horovitz (screenwriter of Sunshine, Author! Author!) and stars Maggie Smith, Kevin Kline, Kristin Scott Thomas and Dominique Pinon. The movie is based on a play by Horovitz and centers on a man from New York who travels to Paris to liquidate a valuable apartment he has inherited from his estranged father and meets a refined old woman, who turns out to be his father’s lover, living in the apartment with her daughter. Orton relied on violin, cello and accordion to score the drama produced by Rachael Horovitz (Moneyball), Gary Foster (Daredevil, Sleepless in Seattle, The Score), Nitsa Benchetrit and David Barrot.
