TOP FILM SCORES
I don't personally think this is the best western ever made (although the integrity of the anti-violence theme is remarkable for a western in 1958 - or even today). I do, however, feel strongly that the music soundtrack by Jerome Moross is the best film score ever composed for a western, and one of the top ten film scores ever. The scope of the themes is unmatched, and evokes the sweep and majesty of the wide open spaces like no other music I have ever heard. I'd love to hear what other opinions are on this, but they won't sway my feelings one way or the other. This soundtrack (which I own) will always be a personal favorite.
