Which soundtrack album did Paul McCartney compose for a 1966 Hayley Mills film?

The soundtrack album Paul McCartney composed for the 1966 Hayley Mills film was The Family Way.

The album is the score for The Family Way, a British film directed by Roy Boulting and starring Hayley Mills, Hywel Bennett and John Mills. Although the music was composed by McCartney, the record was credited to the George Martin Orchestra because George Martin arranged, produced and conducted the finished soundtrack.

McCartney and Martin began work on the project in late 1966. McCartney supplied a brief piano theme and another piece, “Love in the Open Air,” which Martin developed into variations and orchestral arrangements. The score was recorded at CTS Studios in London over three days in December 1966.

The soundtrack was released in January 1967 under the title The Family Way (Original Soundtrack Album). Its unusual credit can cause confusion: it is a McCartney composition, but not a Beatles album or a conventional solo album performed by McCartney. It is also separate from George Harrison’s Wonderwall Music, another Beatles-related film soundtrack released in 1968. “Love in the Open Air” later won the Ivor Novello Award for Best Instrumental Theme.
