this is as good a place to mention it as any: I ran into Charles Bronson in the early eighties in a Beverly Hills bookstore cant even tell you what the store really looked like the conversation was so nice and he so amiable extremely literate fellow we even talked about this very movie he was glad I recalled his part in House of Wax
sorry to go on about this fabulous score so much but to me it seems so much finer than the mag seven by bernstein or even the really good Moross for the Big Country good as that one is yet how often is this one ever mentioned when where by whom talk about underrated ah well this small village of 18000 will have to do
this is truly one of the great great western scores and even though I always found most of the movie mucho fun and very rediculous as I said a true guilty pleasure, wow what a score also Jill Irelands unbelievably beautiful peepers whatever section of Heaven she stole those from, they hit you harder than a 44 coming right at your head all the sadder she died so young

This movie was as good as it was because it was written by Alastair MacLean and his plotline was followed very well for a change. Give the director much credit for that.
What a wonderful movie: part western and part mystery, with a dash of romance as well. I also love this clip—it speaks volumes without any words, only to be punctuated by that wonderful Jerry Goldsmith score. Even after thirty years, I can hum this easily.
Anyone who has not seen this movie, do yourself a favor— do so soon!
SUPERB Bronson-flick (as nearly all his 70ies-efforts were, before he decided to dumb his career by switching to Menahem/Golan, the underfinanced movies of which two bastards ruined him) with top -class score by Jerry Goldsmith, who also ended his career scoring pure shit.
But here we can see and hear them at the peak of their powers!!! Just lovely! Yeah, those were the adys !!! :-)))
Saw this magnificent fim 30 years ago after its release. The powerful Bernstein-like main title, the well done railway scenes & the superb cut fascinated me at once & fascinate me still today! A great movie worth to be shown more often!
Amazing what Jerry Goldsmith has done.

I remember being blown away by this ending music back in 1978. Goldsmith always comes through.

"Breakhart Pass" was filmed near my hometown of Lewiston, Idaho, on a stretch of the now abandoned Camas Prairie Railroad back in the mid 1970's.

One of Bronson's best, they never show this enough on TV.

This was the last western that had a 'feel' to it. Bronson and Goldsmith were both underrated. Thirty plus years later I continue to be moved.

I agree but both were excellent. Thanks for sharing. I hope people who haven't seen this movie take advantage to watch it when they get a chance.
