Trayce, in Australia it often shows up on those super-cheap packs of 10 movies; of course, it looks significantly less cool on the shelf in a lurid VALUE MOVIE PACK case than in a nice Criterion case, so I have my regrets

Tho I guess at least it's not boring, which I can't say for Reed's Odd Man Out.
It's a great theme, and I really like its use in the opening credits, but it's just so incessant and monotonous

Love this movie. Saw it most recently at a special screening in Vienna, and then went to the Third Man Museum there the following day. The score was playing incessantly throughout the exhibit, so it did become a little irritating after a while.

the insane repetitiveness of the score is really expressive. i love it!
