The legendary Jerry Goldsmith brought a new musical sensibility to this early revisionist western, directed by John Sturges as a follow-up to his Gunfight at the O.K. Corral. With Hour of the Gun, Goldsmith was walking in the shadow of the Gunfight score by Dimitri Tiomkin, and although he followed his distinguished older colleague’s lead in composing a score which derives much of its material from a single theme, the similarity ends there. Whereas Tiomkin’s music for Gunfight is generous and effusive, Goldsmith’s score for Hour is sparse and transparent – a refreshing and remarkably original take on the traditional western score.
