I didn't see another thread dedicated to this score, so I thought I would post about it. Has anyone else listened to this one? What are your thoughts?
I just watched the film a few days ago, and I'm still letting the music marinate while going about daily life, but overall I liked it. I was amused to hear some of the keyboard samples used in The Fugitive reappear here, but the more I listen it, the more I feel like JNH nailed the atmosphere of the big city for the most part. Some cues are a little too jaunty considering the harsh subject matter (imo), but percussive cues like "Back To The Shelter" are very catchy while "Rosario" captures the angst of a miserable existence and sudden drama of running from the police. The main title has a motif that's repeated twice later, deceptively simple but masterful. And oh, that jazz trumpet!
I would welcome a complete release, but unfortunately, something like 99.9% of humanity has never heard of the film despite having two well-known actors, so I'm sure that doesn't encourage Varese Sarabande to consider releasing the complete score. However, Bryon and Cary, if you're listening, consider me as someone who will purchase that on day one!

Really liked the film when I watched it in the 90s.
Very nice score too. Never bought it though.
