A fantastic score.
Follow Ups:
No doubt my favorite score from a western.I'm very fond of this movie and enjoy it every time I see it. Wish I had seen it on the "big" screen.
You guys might enjoy this CD. All the great themes from Westerns.
Fantastic music and sonics-an absolute 10. They aren't kidding about the gunshot warnings, either!
That opening with the cattle herd sounds used to drive our dogs nuts...they'd run behind the speakers to catch 'em.
I so agree. I found myself singing along: "It's so big, it's so huge, it's so large, it's real gi-gantic; so im-mense, enor-mous,
its pro-potions, make me frantic" (etc.)Score by Jeromw moross, who, besides movies, did a lot of TV work.
a good actor before this?
And was there ever a slimier weasel than that portrayed by Chuck (Rifleman) Connors?
nudge. I remember Paul Newman and Liz as being terrific in it, too.
Yes, and of note prior to "TBC" he was in "East of Eden", "Desire Under the Elms" and "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof". After he was in "...Epitaph" as I mention above plus a lot of important TV drama work. But still, a lot of people remember him as a folk singer.
