A great pity that this score only exists on the optical mono soundtrack of the film. Rozsa's score and all associated materials were destroyed during the Second World War when a German bomb hit the building at Denham Studios where they were stored. Over thirty years later, in 1974, an attempt was made to recreate two music cues from the score for an RCA compilation LP of Rozsa's music from various films. But nothing else has been done about the score since then. That's why there's no CD of it.
I love this film and the soundtrack. Too bad re: what darrenburnfan wrote,
