There was also a Sabata trilogy in the late 60s/early 70s.

I doubt the Dollar films would be described as a trilogy "of sorts".

I think the previously-suggested El Dorado sounds the best bet. The LP tracks were issued on a German "promotional" CD along with Custer of the West many years ago. I wish it was the Custer score that was getting an expanded legitimate release.

That was my first thought as well.

Has Intrada released any other Spaghetti Western scores? Also, why not start with A Fistful of Dollars? I'm skeptical that this is it....

I agree that El Dorado sounds more plausible

Hopefully the expanded/additional tracks will add some extra quality to the El Dorado LP tracks.

The old LP has a western "Shoot Out" track that Riddle scores just like a comic Batman episode. Perhaps he was told there was a masked man in the scene and responded accordingly?

Most of the rest is either jolly cantina-style music, or a couple of somewhat undernourished and simplistic western romps.

Well I've had an LP rip of El Dorado for a long time and if it's that, I'll be all over it (provided all in stereo of course).

I agree Basil. The El Dorado LP is pleasant enough I guess, but it's just simple Mexican style guitar music etc. Nothing wrong with that, but it's not much of a score if I remember the film correctly. Would Intrada bother to issue this? I never really cared much for the film but always liked the title song. I would much rather see For A Few Dollars More but I doubt it is this.

I was thinking the Harry Palmer trilogy but didn't Intrada recently do FUNERAL IN BERLIN?

Nope. Kritzerland did the third film Billion Dollar Brain in 2009.

That would not be a trilogy "of sorts"; it's a trilogy.

No...Harry Palmer is a trilogy. Eastwood's character is those three films has a different name in each one, and in the last film, Lee van Cleef plays a villain who is completely unrelated (though he looks the same) to the protagonist he played in the previous film.

Any lumping of those three films into a "trilogy" is pure marketing based on their similarities of style. But in terms of story elements it just doesn't make sense.

I'm going to go WAY out on a limb and say On Her Majesty's Secret Service. It is the middle film of the Bond vs. Blofeld trilogy (You Only Live Twice, OHMSS, Diamonds Are Forever).

Another slightly likely contender might be Alfred Newman's "Nevada Smith," if one counts the 1975 TV movie as the "third part" of the "trilogy."

Anyway, whatever it is, I'll be curious to see/hear it. I certainly wouldn't mind if it turned out to be "El Dorado" or "For a Few Dollars More" - or indeed, any other 60s score, which, of course, it will be.

So what's the first part of the trilogy? The Carpetbaggers?

I would buy Nevada Smith in a split second!

That's how I viewed it - even though "Nevada Smith" takes place before "The Carpetbaggers," it was the second film made featuring the character, so you could, technically, view it as the second in a sort-of-trilogy (though again, only if one also decides to count the 1975 TV movie with Cliff Potts, Lorne Greene, and Adam West).

I don't think it's Nevada Smith but this here Newmaniac would FLIP OUT if it was!

I wonder if Mr. Tibbs is the best guess so far...

I'd much prefer Nevada Smith to El Dorado, which is not a great score (but a great movie), but calling it the middle part of a trilogy is maybe stretching it a bit. If it was El Dorado, then they'd have to add the title song from the film, as that voice is amazing.

Barbarella ?
