By golly the producers got their moneys worth with this composer. I appreciate this score more and more over the years since the film first came out. Music like this doesn't just happen - Mr Rozsa had to compose and write every single beautiful note. Extraordinary.
Wow! HG Wells meets Ben Hur and Sinbad! I remember this film from my youth from movie-channel days (HBO or Showtime). Didn't recall the music at all, It's all a bit incongruous with the film images still in my head, as if Ben Hur crashed into The Streets of San Francisco. Which maybe was the point given the time-traveling plot. The film was enjoyable to my then-teenage self. Can't say if the music works for the film, but on its own it is moving, exciting and grand. The opening half-dozen chords match the same for the title song from Blazing Saddles - a strange coincidence. This is the best unknown/lost/"underrated" soundtrack music I have heard in a long time. Play this music for your friends and have them try to guess which year or even decade the movie is from. The responses will probably be as surprising as the answer.
Grazie Mind❤👍🏻 Wonderful Miklós Rózsa❤👏🏻 A crossover between H.G. Wells and Jack The Ripper.💥😵 A film with a vague literary taste, overall enjoyable, played on the edge of the fantastic and the ironic reinterpretation of the horror genre. There is no shortage of love story and moralizing commentary on violence in our century. The film was awarded the Grand Prix at the Avoriaz International Fantastic Film Festival. In Italy, the film is called "L'uomo venuto dall'impossibile".
An extraordinary score by Rozsa. Such emotional power.
He truly was a master of film scoring.

Sounds so similar to Back to the Future at times...
