I saw the movie recently. I always liked the mood of it. The score by Jerry released commercially is apparently a studio re-recording but it sounds exactly like the movie sessions which are apparently"lost". Having seen the movie I have found that the album sequence runs as follows
1) Main Title 2) The Last Run (Scene where Harry departs on his mission) 3) Rickard Escapes 4) Claudie's Stockings 5) Yo Te Amo (Desert Bar Source Music) 6) Double Cross 7) Border Crossing 8) Claudie Says Yes 9) The Trap 10) End Titles
The Vocal by Steve Lawrence does not appear in the movie (at least the version I have seen but was probably a play-out track. Spanish Coast, one of the most beautiful compositions by Goldsmith appears to be an unused track or especially composed for the album
I got to see a great print of the film a year or two ago at the New Beverly, as part of their Richard Fleischer series. Very enjoyable, though it helps that i"m a big fan of George C. Scott, screenwriter Alan Sharp, and of course Jerry. I apologize if this is already covered in the thread, but though I believe the LP/CD is a re-recording, it seemed very faithful to the film version and pretty complete.
I've always loved the score's Europop sound. For sheer pleasure, I once made a mix CD of what a Bond score would be like if Goldsmith had composed one, and there's a lot of Last Run in it (and Cassandra Crossing and Russia House).

Wouldn't the Flint scores and Sebastian fit the bill?

Ten years(!) ago, we rhapsodized over that marvelous cue, with some of us even weeping like aged Italian (or Spanish) widows garbed in black, such was this cue's beauty.
As for the film itself, I'm certain I saw it on a late-night Turner Classic Movies airing of it some years ago. George C. Scott's wife (whose name eludes me, but who also was a Colombo murderer) is gorgeous, but unfortunately her performance in the film was just sort of "there." I'll have to see the film again--late at night, of course.

Was the younger guy in some polizia or giallo films?
If you are referring to Tony Musante, he was the lead in Dario Argento's THE BIRD WITH THE CRYSTAL PLUMAGE (1971).
He also played "Toma" which was based on real life detective Dave Toma (who played bit roles in various roles on the series) but left the series after the first season, and as a result, the series was reworked with Robert Blake as "Baretta".
