The musical score - by Dave Grusin - is absolutely beautiful and dramatic. The soundtrack is still - many years on following an initial LP release - unavailable anywhere. Criminal!

One of my favorite movies! Fun facts! Too bad James Garner was not in this film. He should of had Robert Wagner's role. Thank you again Donald! Please keep making these great stories!!!
