RESULT! Managed (with hints) to solve 'em all and get 'em in a grid. Reason for convoluted and some not very precise wordings was each clue had to contain a word which was in the the film etc. As a jazz fan and piano player I spotted these quickly once I realised: Rhapsody in Blue, (An) American in Paris, An Experiment in Modern Music, Simon Rattle and Bridgewater Hall - and guess what? He's conducting the BBC Philharmonic in February performing A Rhapsody in Blue at the Bridgewater Hall! The tickets are my reward! Thanks for all your help my friends.
