I didnt mind the film. It was okay, not the worst. A rare winter western at a time westerns had long died. Score good.

The CD was worth it for "Black Feet Pursue Tyler" alone.

Very interesting. I've been a huge Michel Legrand fan for many decades -- since I fell in love with "The Umbrellas of Cherbourg" in 1964. A few days ago I received the 2-CD set "The Music of Michel Legrand" in which he conducts excerpts from several of his works with the Moscow Virtuosi, and then decided to break down and make a Michel Legrand playlist for my iPod, which included: "The Music of Michel Legrand" "The Essential Michel Legrand Film Music Collection" "Festival de Cannes (60th Anniversary)" "Legrand/Grappelli" Instrumental cues from "Lady Sings The Blues" "The Summer of '42" "The Thomas Crown Affair" "Ice Station Zebra" "Yentl" "The Umbrellas of Cherbourg" "The Young Girls of Rochefort" And I've been searching for 2 or 3 other CDs I have of him conducting his own music. But I chose NOT to include the dreadful "Atlantic City" (what a waste of money!) in this playlist. I'll likely buy the above Intrada, if only because I've been pleased with their other recent releases, like "Cahill" and especially "Cocoon."

This is a gem of a score. I took a gamble on it based on the samples and I'm so glad I did. Lush, spacious, wide-open music that fills the senses. At times, the brass sections sound similar to some Stu Phillips CD's I own. The only other Legrand composition I own is the rejected score that came with THE MAN WHO LOVED CAT DANCING, which is different to say the least.

I neglected this one forever. Then, when Intrada put it on the "chopping block" I said, What the Hell, I'll get it and Other Side of Midnight too. Boy, am I glad I did. Everybody is right. And the action music is really exceptional. Definitely LeGrand's soundworld, but with a great distinctiveness that makes me want to watch the movie despite what everyone says. Don't let this one slip through your fingers!
