SOUNDTRACK:
Angelo F. Lavagnino wrote scores for all kinds of films: documentaries, historical films, comedies and westerns. For this film he composed a compelling soundtrack performed by just a few instruments such as organ, percussion, and piano, but for the melody of the gang of "Mexicans" the author brought in a large orchestra. We were able to use each and every note found on the original mono master tapes for this CD (total time 55:08).
