How did I go so many years without seeing this movie? And hearing this awesome score?
I love it when I find a little nugget of treasure like this. It has existed my entire life and I never once knew about it. Now I can't get it out of my head.
Lalo Schifrin underscores this film with a nice mix of orchestral jazz and lounge music. This isn't any of that retro-fusion nonsense. This is the real thing! It's all very low-key and sets a nice mood for web surfing or...other pursuits.
The first two tracks are the most memorable in the film. Track 1 accompanies the bizarre opening titles and track 2 leads into the big car chase. There is no music for the chase istelf. Only squealing tires and revving engines.
Lalo Schifrin at his jazziest! Highly recommended.
I've got this in my Netflix queue. It must be good to get a recommendation from you.
