It was a pleasure to listen to this again, and a special pleasure to listen to Harry Carney's extended (for him, anyway) solo on "I Let a Song Go Out of My Heart".

Couw, the Wild One album I have has the Brando photo at top.

I think the music is much better - from a strictly jazz point of view - than the Cops and Robbers music.

Another interesting Leith Stevens score is the one he wrote for the Don Siegel film 'Private Hell 36. Spanish Decca also released that music via Fresh Sounds - obviously authorized by Decca - on an LP that added the 'Cops and Robbers' sides.
