What a great score! I, or somebody else will certainly write a more detailed analysis, but for for now I will simply say, imagine that somebody gene-spliced Elmer Bernstein and Lalo Schifrin.
Indeed, I can hear a cue from "The Great Escape" in one of the samples.

And Spoliansky's Saint Joan is pretty darn good, too! And don't forget a few years earlier Elmer Bernstein bursting onto the scene with The Man with the Golden Arm! He also worked with Alex North (The 13th Letter), Dmitri Tiomkin (The Court Martial of Billy Mitchell, Angel Face), Georges Auric (Bonjour Tristesse), Cyril Mockridge (Where the Sidewalk Ends, River of No Return), David Raksin (Whirlpool, Forever Amber, Daisy Kenyon, Fallen Angel, Laura)...

One more score that is never brought up (because it is a comedy), but was another item that made me forgive his Morricone and UNCLE cover versions, was VIVA MAX !
Wonderful trumpet playing by Al Hirt.
Yes indeed the trumpet solo on the film version end credits is totally awesome.
Original Film Tracks ASAP please someone!

I gotta hand it to Otto Preminger. He picked a number of "new" or innovative composers to have their debuts or early major studio credits with him. Including Paul Glass (Bunny Lake Is Missing), Jerry Goldsmith (In Harm's Way), Jerome Moross (The Cardinal), Jerry Fielding (Advise & Consent), Ernest Gold (Exodus) and Duke Ellington (Anatomy of a Murder ), which was the line-up leading up to HURRY SUNDOWN.
Not to mention that he was also instrumental in helping many artists escape the black-list. Composers who were on the bad side of the House Un-American Activities Committee, like Jerry Fielding, and others who were just under suspicion of being communists or sympathizers (even if they weren't), like Elmer Bernstein, Alex North and others were hired by Mr. Preminger. I always admired him for that.

I've been listenng to this great Intrada release once again, this score is just so hugely enjoyable. It's been a great favourite of mine for many many years, forty nine years actually! I hope that folks who are dithering about whether or not to buy it will just take a chance and get it, I doubt very much if they will be disappointed with Hugo Montenegro's superb music.
Incidentally, I just happened to catch some of Charro(1969), the Elvis Presley Western on TV last night and was reminded once again of what a terrific score it has by Montenegro, most definitely worth releasing on CD!

A quick note to all Manhattanite FSMers: The Museum of Modern Art will be showing a 35mm print of "Hurry Sundown" tomorrow (June 3rd) at 1:30pm. It's part of their series of Preminger matinees -- also shown this week were "Bunny Lake is Missing" and "In Harm's Way" (which I just got out of). It's been a terrific series, and I'm looking forward to seeing "Hurry Sundown" on the big screen tomorrow.
If any FSM-folks are able to make it to the screening, let me know -- maybe we can arrange a get-together afterward.
And to keep things sort of on topic, I ordered the CD earlier this week, along with Intrada's other May releases, and am looking forward to spending some time with it!

I always loved the LP of this, but this CD is just great - and I can't stop playing it. If you haven't popped for it yet, you really should.

I have been enjoying this score as well. I was tempted when listening to it to track down the film to hear it in context, but it seems I'm better off just listening to the score…
