The score is more thematic than I expected for this time period.
So I'm guessing you aren't familiar with his beautiful thematic writing for Lonely Are the Brave, Dr. Kildare, The Spiral Road, and Rio Conchos around the same time period?

With this now on order I'm racking mt brains for any remaining unreleased Goldsmith Holy Grails?
Let me help: someone this thread have already mentioned Peter Proud but as that at least has an unmentionable I'd like to bring up two totally unreleased Goldsmith scores, Black Patch and Face of a Fugitive, the 1st and 3rd feature scores written by him (thanks to Doug Fake rescuing the tapes we have his 2nd and 4th, but I'm guessing no similar tapes survive for these two since they are Columbia and there's been nothing floating around all these years).
I'm therefore hoping Tadlow will work their magic on these two important early Goldsmith scores!
Aside from that there are plenty of titles I'd love to see expanded...Psycho 2 might qualify for grail status if you allow those...
I'm so grateful to get Adrian Messenger now, though! It certainly was a long time in coming (I wonder why.)

I really didn't know JG until the mid seventies and of course that period and forward are my favorite JG years. I (wrong or not) associated the 60's with the Jazz period, so never paid much attention to his earlier works.
That's a shame. Lonely Are the Brave is one of his best ever and is OOP but you should check out the incredible film and appreciate his lovely music there. Dr. Kildare, on the other hand, is magnificent and still available from FSM, each episode score is like a mini film score with its own identity and each one a masterpiece, with very different uses of his main Kildare theme -- check out some of the FSM samples!

Here is a interesting bit that was told to me by the late Morton Stevens before his death.
We were talking about his work on OUTLAND and he mentioned that he had jumped into help Jerry on a earlier film to write a cue because time was short and he needed a bit of help.
So according to Morton he caught the for the end of the film when Kirk Douglas dies, which we now call "Broom's Doom" using Jerry themes and of course Jerry looking at it and signing off.
He said that he loved the sound the orchestra made when you send Kirk impaled on the tractor.
He told me he could never come up again with something quite like it ever again.
It's also worthing noting that many years later when he was scoring HAWAII 5-O he did a really good episode of the series called "Over Fifty? Steal" starring Hume Cronyn.
The theme he came up with for Cronyn's character is very close to the theme for "The List of Adrian Messenger"....
I could her wrong, I haven't seen the episode in years, but that's what I recall.
