Recorded this on the MGM channel. A strong western score from Leigh Harline. Good film too, directed by Anthony Mann, with a fun, way over-the-top baddie in the form of Lee J. Cobb. I particularly liked Jack Lord as one of the nasty gang members... unrecognizable in the role compared to how I've ever seen him previously.
Anyway, Leigh Harline had a golden spell just a few years ago, with fourteen or fifteen CDs in fairly quick succession, all of which I bought. Like Enemy Below, Pickup on South Street, True Story of Jesse James, Violent Saturday, Broken Lance, House of Bamboo etc etc.
Since then, an extended quiet period. Well, if we are to get some more of him in due course, here's a vote for "Man of the West" to be included.

Unfortunately, the Mirisch Brothers were not very good at preserving the musical elements of their film productions.

I agree; it is one of his best scores. Excellent Main Title. I would buy it in a heartbeat.

I fear that (as with the Fox output of Hugo Friedhofer) the labels pretty much exhausted everything that still survived of his. Obviously they sold well enough for a good long run of Harline releases and then, as you say, nothing. With Nick Redman no longer with us I also fear that things are even more difficult for Fox titles now, aside from the Disney issue.
