World premiere stereo release of expanded original soundtrack from John Huston drama examining early psychiatric studies of Sigmund Freud, starring Montgomery Clift, Susannah York. Jerry Goldsmith anchors entire score around tentative, spiraling melodic idea where austere harmony plays as important a role as melody. Score gets new shot in arm when portions re-appear in landmark 1979 Ridley Scott space thriller ALIEN. Handsome package compliments black and white film, fascinating notes by Julie Kirgo put icing on the cake. Joseph Gershenson conducts. Limited edition of 3000 units.
