Very well-choreographed showdown at the end. "You were right. He was really trying to kill me."

A nice entry in that 1970s subgenre: The Dusty Noir/Thriller.

"Melon" remains a funny-sounding word in any context.

I also know what my Film Score Track of the Day for today will be.

I'm definitely hearing the above-mentioned Morricone influence in the acoustic guitar cues.

Yeah, that was one of the places I heard Morricone.

To clarify my earlier remark about the score: I like it in the context of the film, but it is not something I would seek out, unless I found the LP for cheap. Was there an LP?

Overall, the score reminded me of too many other scores that did an overall better job of delivering that aesthetic.

The score stood out for me well enough. It's maybe not Taking of Pelham level, but it worked nicely.

Taking a quick peek on Discogs, it looks like there was not an LP of the score at the time, but it has since been released on Intrada.

No LP, had to wait years for that CD.
A very holy grail.
I dont hear an Ennio there, only Charles Bernstein. wink
