Yes, this was a Robert Altman (M*A*S*H, The Player) film from 1994 that also went by the English title "Ready to Wear". Its about the Spring fashion shows in Paris. The official soundtrack to the movie doesn't have any Basia tracks, but I've not seen the film so I can't indicate if they were used in the film. Since the soundtrack was issued on Columbia records, a Sony company, I can believe that they might have been pushing to get her work featured in the film, as it was out around the launch time of _Sweetest Illusion_ and it looked to appeal to Sony's Basia demographic group, but I don't think her work made the film's final cut. - -- Benjamin L.
