While we are all buzzing about Intrada's release of Dominic Frontiere's THE AVIATOR, I mention that Warner Bros. recently brought out a Blu-ray edition of the serviceable, if pedestrian John Wayne - Ann Margaret horse opera, THE TRAIN ROBBERS from 1972. The film features another little-heard score by Dominic Frontiere. It's classic "big sky" cowboy music, of course, and there is a LOT of it (maybe too much, as many minutes of the movie are given over to Wayne and his compadres riding and riding and riding out into the Mexican desert, then riding and riding and riding back again, all of these minutes underscored Bernstein style). I thought it was fun listening to an engaging western score not by Elmer B., Goldsmith, Moross, Tiomkin, or Jarre. Anybody else out there interested in hearing this one unearthed from the vaults? It appears the topic last came up here in 2007.

Yeah one of many 70s westerns with decent scores. Bit like undefeated - not by a big name but would sell because its good. Plenty more gagging for a release from Shoot out to valdez to ulzana to willie Boy to spikes gang etc etc.

The film score is NOT lost.................The composer has the full score in his collection ............and therefore could be released at anytime..........I do have a private copy in my collection and the sound quality is brilliant and in stereo.....
