I was stumped and stumped, finally had to resort to Shazam. And now all your clews make perfect sense.
Though I don't know the composer, I love this film, and had forgotten that the score had been released - and now it's mine!
I won't spoil since i shazamed, but I must say - figuring this out was like tilting at windmills! But now it's the end of the affair.

The film starred Alec Guinness. The composer is European and the film was shot there as well. However the score was recorded in London.
The composer is probably most famous for a series films he did in the early 70's.
The composer is still with us.
The early '70s flicks are likely 'the tomb of the blind dead' sequence of Spanish horrors.
That Guinness title, if made for television, is probably MONSIGNOR QUIXOTE...

You'll never guess this one.
You're right, Last. We'll never get that one. The last two and a half minutes of silence remind me of John Cage. The first part that we can actually hear puts me in mind of Jerry Fielding (strings going all over the place from A to B via Z) and Michael Small, but not enough to be either of them. I even thought that there was a touch of Mancini or Grusin.
Is it from '70s telly?
EDITED - Oh, now it's gone! So I'm the winner.

Don't know, but really like it. As I said before, it kind of sounds like a more bland Fielding or Small (there's a thematic connection to THE POSTMAN ALWAYS RINGS TWICE) but it also sounds too generic for either of them, almost as if it was by Allyn Ferguson (or whoever - just picking a semi-anonymous sounding name from the hat).

Sounds like a TV movie score to me. I like it!

No idea what the haines piece is. I wouldn't even like to hazard a guess. Delerue? Stanley Myers? You can't get much wider a gap than between the two of them, so I'll stop making a fool of myself.
Really intrigued by LC's piece. When I used the words "bland" and "generic" I didn't really express myself well. I meant it in the context of Fielding and Small, in the sense that it has elements of both composers' styles, but not enough for it to be actually either of them. But I've listened to it a few more times and it's very good indeed. I think the composer might have a jazz background, with all those "blue" notes - and a real gift for arranging. Is the little hint of a theme - just a motif in the last few seconds of the clip - part of what would be a fully developed melody?

A beauty, isn't it? We'll give it a day, but you'll want it.
I want it already!
