This is when film scores were the emotional underpinning for movies and not relegated to soundtracks right behind the sound effects. One of Goldsmiths best.
Stirring theme from Goldsmith who captured the essence and sweeping grandeur of the old West like Morricone did with the Dollars Trilogy. Nothing today can approach the enlivening power and magnitude of the classics.
Saw this at a drive-in with my family in '75. The theme's been stuck in my head ever since. Every single time i see a steam train, it's there. Everywhere, even theme parks, it's THE theme for an 1800's train.
Can't help feeling that the films of that era had such a real masculine edge compared to our times dye to the hard times so many actors and crew had as kids & young men - the Depression, WW2 & national service: eg: Durning WW2 infantryman in ETO, Crenna WW2 RTO infantry in Italy, Branson WW2 combat aircrew. The list goes on. Before the wars men still lived in a very tough world married young & grew up very quickly. Much the same for most women.
His sound was rarely as familiar as John Williams' symphonic 'romantic' or Henry Mancini's 'popular' styles--not as instantly comfortable for the average listener. But Goldsmith's ability to work WITH THE MOVIE was second to none.
What I love about Breakheart Pass was it was a western that had mystery, suspense and action. Jerry Goldsmith’s score, Charles Bronson’s performance and Alistair MacClean’s screenplay and the locations were tightly woven together into a very great film.
@@fredwincarr942 yep, the fruits and nuts in Hollywood today wouldn’t have been able to even be an extra for movies like this…. They required real mean.
Two of Charles best movies came out in 1975 Breakheart Pass and Hard Times,no actor today can compare To the great Charles Bronson which is why I watch his movies all the time
Probably Charles Bronson's finest movie, and an excellent and exciting sound track. Most people are probably not aware of these very fine and different western movie!
There are some amazing set pieces in this film. The fist fight on top of the train while it passes over the enormous wooden bridge. The reverse runaway train. Bronson and Lautner were enjoyable to watch. Goldsmith's theme energises the film.
Videoed this film from tv in the 70s great film & a great score ....sadly some of the people who helped make this a great film are no longer with us but their memroy will live on through this picture & soundtrack ......Happy times now just a distant past tense........
I noticed that the music is very close to the music he did for First Blood 1982 with Stallone. Seven years apart. Goldsmith was amazing. He did a huge number of soundtracks during his life.
They played the movie on the THIS TV network a week ago...may not have done well at the box office in 1975-76 but it is one my favs...and the music isn't bad either...
There's Elmer Bernstein; there's Ennio Morricone. And then there's Jerry Goldsmith. He can perfectly encapsulates Bernstein & Morricone, even on the same score!

@@bobcastro9386 you are right. I also forgot "Battle of the Bulge". Little trivia if you didn't already know. Chuck was a coal miner in his pre acting career. So he knew how to play the tunnel king. What an actor, in my top five action stars of all time.
Am Ende des Filmes ist die Handlung unlogisch. Woher kommen die Soldaten am Ende, wenn das Fort doch besetzt und diese gefangen waren? Und wenn die Verbrecher stark genug waren die Besatzung des Forts zu überwältigen, warum schaffen sie es dann am Ende nicht gegen eine Schwadron anzukommen?
Eine solche Frage sollte nicht gestellt werden!Sie lassen sich von Action umgeben! ist eine filmische Droge. ob es dir gefällt oder nicht. und so weiter. Kinder, die 1975 10 Jahre alt waren, stellten solche Fragen nicht. Gesundheit.
Easy, watch it again. They blow the whistle on the Train and the captures go to the train leaving the soldiers locked up in the Fort. Bronson starts leaving the dynamite around and the major lays one dynamite charge on the tracks and then goes and released the troops from the jail at the prison.
@@Dottydawes Woher haben die Soldaten die Waffen? Sie wurden ja entwaffnet. Auch wenn sie befreit wurden, so waren die Verbrecher ja bewaffnet. Wer wäre so blöd und lässt eine volle Waffenkammer in der Nähe von gefangenen Soldaten. Außerdem hätten die Waffen der Soldaten ja schon an die Indianer übergeben werden müssen. Die konnten es doch kaum abwarten in den Besitz von Waffen zu kommen. Und wer lässt nicht eine Wache zurück bei den gefangenen Soldaten? Ich kenne leider nur wenige Filme, wo der Böse auch schlau ist und dadurch gewinnt.

So true 😘
Now days groups invest in a movie and their music is played through out. Nobody cares if it fits or not as long as its LOUD
Jerry goldsmith transports the viewer into ah perfect definitely blast of action & adventure with this groove!
Klasyka filmu. To jest prawdziwy western, prosta fabuła, jasny moralnie bohater i antybohaterowie .... no i muzyka ... mistrzostwo świata!
First time hearing the theme by Jerry Goldsmith i was so thrilled . This guy is absolutely amazing
Goldsmith is a genius. My favorite is still his theme song for the movie Lonely Are the Brave.
Fabulous Western musical score. Jerry Goldsmith was a genius.
I just watched this movie for the first time yesterday and I absolutely love this theme!
Stirring theme from Goldsmith who captured the essence and sweeping grandeur of the old West like Morricone did with the Dollars Trilogy. Nothing today can approach the enlivening power and magnitude of the classics.
Brilliant musical score and movie

You know that dude goldsmith did the music for the great train robbery with robin connery to.
Probably my favourite Charles Bronson film. Good story, great cast, location, action and music.
I remember watching these ole classics with my dad as a kid growing up in the 70’s.
One of the most fun and exciting western movies ever made!
*****So say we all -- I have seen this on TV--at least 12 times ---super...AND HIS MUSIC
the best western movie melody of all time. and the film is very good.
I had to play this again; Like i said i never get tired of this score or the film !
You can almost hear the train 🚂 going through the mountains. 🇬🇧

Masculine and todays Hollywoods fruits is an oxymoron.

You can hear “First Blood” in this soundtrack
My most favorite music score of all time and a great movie to boot.
Joe Kapp 1938-2023 (Carlos) the last principle cast member...RIP...
Joe Kapp was Henry the Steward.
Archie Moore was Carlos the cook.
What I love about Breakheart Pass was it was a western that had mystery, suspense and action. Jerry Goldsmith’s score, Charles Bronson’s performance and Alistair MacClean’s screenplay and the locations were tightly woven together into a very great film.
And the amazing snow country that become more during the movie.... ❤❤❤❄️❄️❄️
Great score by Jerry Goldsmith & great film by Bronson. Films such as this are no longer made unfortunately.
Ed Lauter was great in this film. Hugely underrated actor.
Who today could take Bronson"s place? Nobody!!
@@blueztx fully agree. I have seen him in other movies but he really stood out in this.
@@fredwincarr942 yep, the fruits and nuts in Hollywood today wouldn’t have been able to even be an extra for movies like this…. They required real mean.
Great !
First rate stuff! WIsh we had Jerry today scoring films.
I could watch Bronson movies all day.
Bronson was "the man" and always will be!
Mr. GoldSmith is a Genuine Gift to the World < .
Two of Charles best movies came out in 1975 Breakheart Pass and Hard Times,no actor today can compare To the great Charles Bronson which is why I watch his movies all the time
Hard Times was a great period movie!
All time favorite movie, great soundtrack. Now that it's not limited to LP only, gotta buy me a CD version. Totally awesome!!
Just happened to see this movie last night, absolutely loved the score!
JUST A REALLY GOOD MOVIE
Probably Charles Bronson's finest movie, and an excellent and exciting sound track. Most people are probably not aware of these very fine and different western movie!
Chatos Land is pretty damn good with a powerful Jerry Fielding score.
Once Upon A Time In The West was his greatest, and don't forget The Magnificent Seven.
He’s been in so many good movies lol
hearing this made me dig out the dvd again, great music and a great movie as well
Great movie and score!
There are some amazing set pieces in this film. The fist fight on top of the train while it passes over the enormous wooden bridge. The reverse runaway train. Bronson and Lautner were enjoyable to watch. Goldsmith's theme energises the film.
Great music from a gone era.
One of my favorite Bronson Westerns! It always reminded me of Clue on a train lol
Videoed this film from tv in the 70s great film & a great score ....sadly some of the people who helped make this a great film are no longer with us but their memroy will live on through this picture & soundtrack ......Happy times now just a distant past tense........
Great action/who done it Western with a great cast and lots of plot twists.
Super theme , no comparison !
LOVE THE SOUNDTRACK
Great song!
Great Movie 🙂
I normally don't like westerns.... But this movie is really really good.
I love this movie.
I noticed that the music is very close to the music he did for First Blood 1982 with Stallone. Seven years apart. Goldsmith was amazing. He did a huge number of soundtracks during his life.
Believe it or not I saw this on a double bill with Network, at the old Fortway theater in Brooklyn, for $2!
They played the movie on the THIS TV network a week ago...may not have done well at the box office in 1975-76 but it is one my favs...and the music isn't bad either...
Ed Kienzler Mom took me to see this in the theater. I absolutely loved it.
There's Elmer Bernstein; there's Ennio Morricone. And then there's Jerry Goldsmith. He can perfectly encapsulates Bernstein & Morricone, even on the same score!
Good point
Underrated, my favourite.

You forgot the Dirty Dozen, the Magnificant Seven, Battle of the Bulge and Guns for San Sabastian. Not the same movies without him.
@@aurelian7831 "The Great Escape". Bronson played the miner who helped design the WWII POW escape tunnel excavation system.

Kind of an odd style of music for Goldsmith. Very reminiscent of Morricone and Bruno Nicolai.
Thumbs up movie
is this on a cd brilliant score
Yes. The CD was released by La La Land in the States, but now it's out of print. You'll probably have to pay a hefty price for it.
