NEAR MINT - UNSEALED - ONLY ONE AVAILABLE

Based on the novel by Stephen Peters, the film is directed by John Frankenheimer (Birdman of Alcatraz, The Manchurian Candidate, Seven Days in May, Ronin). This Cold War thriller tells the story of an American Colonel Jack Knowles (Roy Scheider), serving at a faraway post on the German-Czech border, who carries on a personal war with his Soviet counterpart, Colonel Valachev (Jürgen Prochnow). Both have been hardened by past combat experiences, and both have been embittered by the exigencies of red tape, bureaucracy, and diplomatic deal-making. Also starring Harry Dean Stanton, Tim Reid and Lara Harris.

The CD release is mastered from the original 35mm music stereo stems, courtesy of MGM. This big orchestral thriller score contains a cracking couple of action cues and chase cues.

Bill Conti writes tough orchestral score with suspenseful strings and dark electric percussion, throbbing noble theme for trumpet, oboe and patriotic strings. Action segments are rhythmic, aggressive highlights with electronic percussion and icy synths furiously tangling with the orchestra.
