Love Actually, directed by Richard Curtis and starring an award-winning ensemble cast, quickly became one of the world’s favourite romantic comedies for its depiction of intertwining London love stories.
For Armstrong, the film represented the first opportunity to write music for this genre, and his score has become as well-loved as the film itself. Part of it was written in Portugal, creating the theme for the romance that blossoms between Colin Firth and Lucia Moniz. But perhaps the best-known is Glasgow Love Theme, which follows the unrequited attempt by Mark (Andrew Lincoln) to win the heart of Juliet (a young Keira Knightley).
