One of my most prized records is this original 1972 vinyl for the soundtrack to the crime film “Un Uomo Da Rispettare” (aka “A Man To Respect,” aka “The Master Touch”) directed by Michele Lupo, starring Kirk Douglas and Florinda Bolkan and Giuliano Gemma.
The Maestro’s on-screen credit.
With stunning cover art by Ermanno Iaia, Morricone’s moody, atmospheric, trumpet-infused score greatly enhances an otherwise mediocre Italian crime picture.
