I've been a fan of Morricone's work since the old spaghetti westerns with Eastwood that he scored. I remember going to see this movie on a free movie pass I had won. I didn't catch the composer's name in the opening credits, but as the (yes, somewhat lame...) movie progressed, I became increasingly impressed with the soundtrack! At some point I just knew it had to be Morricone...I stayed for the closing credits to be sure, and there it was! I bought it on CD as soon as I could, and have enjoyed it immensely ever since, whereas the film itself I never saw again. The music, however, stands on its own merits.
