It reminded me of the later Chinatown, so if you're into Chinatown, get this immediately.

I rank "Hard Contract" as my 18th favorite Alex North soundtrack, following "The Long Hot Summer" (my #17) and ahead of "Journey Into Fear" (my #19 North).

Giving this chestnut a good listen again today. I think Varèse did an amazing job of presenting a score whose elements were somewhat problematic. And thankfully they released it, because it's a beautiful score. I will have to take advantage of Mr. Phelps' "Tube" link and watch this at some point. This begs for a Kino-Lorber or Olive release. Heck, I'd say Twilight Time over those, but I'll take what I can get. Getting to finally see a film whose score you know so well is like finally meeting a person you've done business with over the phone for years.

A super average North score, it appears that North was not in the least bit inspired. A drone( autopilot } score, only for North completest.
C'mon, Eastman, don't hold back! Tell us what you really think.
