“The Scalphunters“ / Prologue * Elmer Bernstein

Great addition to the playlist. One of my all time favourites from Bernstein. Originally issued on United Artists in 1968, and more recently this month by Quartet in an expanded Limited release of 1000. The Scalphunters is a 1968 American Western film starring Burt Lancaster, Ossie Davis and Telly Savalas. The film was directed by Sydney Pollack, with the score written by Elmer Bernstein. Davis was nominated for a Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actor for his performance in the film. Filming took place in Sierra de Órganos National Park in the town of Sombrerete, Mexico.
