比尔·泰勒和亨瑞·布莱布是西部的两个捕狸人,他们靠捕猎海狸为生。因为海狸的数量减少,海狸皮的市价也不断变化,两个鬓发斑白的老猎手不得不继续寻找皮质更好的海狸,他们的足迹已踏入了印第安人居住的地域。亨瑞总感觉有印第安的黑角人在追踪他们,而比尔却说那是克劳人。结果抢劫者克劳人和彪悍凶残的黑角人起了冲突。亨瑞和比尔也卷入了冲突,比尔打倒了一个乘机偷袭他的黑角人,但他发现那个人居然是个面容清秀的女子。女子自称“奔月”,她被卖给黑角武士“巨鹰”作妻子,但她厌恶那种生活,决定追随比尔,但比尔不希望奔月跟着他,他和亨瑞以及一个后来加入他们、想前往俄勒冈开辟新土地的白人天亮前离开了还在熟睡的“奔月”,前往最近的一个集市。集市上,比尔发现海狸皮已经不再值钱,收购皮毛的商人告诉他海狸毛皮的需求已经锐减。比尔还见到了曾和他一起冒险的印第安人“乌狼”。当他们准备返回驻地时,“奔月”追随而至,她斥责比尔的背信弃义,一番争斗之后,比尔只好收留了她。比尔向当地德高望重的印第安人“铁肚皮”询问海狸的聚居地,铁肚皮告诉他,在黑角人的领地有一个神奇的“大峡谷”,那里的海狸数量巨大,皮质光亮,能使他们大有收获。比尔和亨瑞意气风发地出发准备寻找海狸了。但对失去“奔月”一直耿耿于怀的“巨鹰”也寻踪而至。双方枪战的结果,亨瑞被割去了头皮,“奔月”也被劫走,比尔也成了黑角人的俘虏。“巨鹰”告诉比尔“奔月”已死,并让比尔逃跑,其他的黑角人随后起步在后追赶,在这个残酷的逃命比赛中,比尔居然逃掉了,而且他还幸运地发现了有大量海狸活动的“大峡谷”。 World premiere release of magnificent Michel Legrand score for tough 1980 western pitting Charlton Heston, Brian Keith against worthy Native American adversaries. Legrand anchors with gorgeous, wide-open main theme, painted in broad strokes with bright major key harmony in abundance. Nice trumpet fanfares judiciously sprinkled within theme is exciting, regal touch. But action is keynote! Composer writes what is most surely his busiest score, replete with incredibly challenging high brass figures, moto-perpetuo rhythms that seldom quit, orchestral fury to burn! Presentation of this most exciting Legrand work became possible only when Sony located mint condition stereo masters amongst various film elements stored within Chace Audio facilities. Great find! Fans of composer will enjoy both his soaring theme melody plus his dynamic action. And - with nod to important piece of film scoring artform now gone - Legrand finishes what he starts, brings entire score to close with powerful coda! No just walking off podium before work is done, no cut-and-paste editorial assembly and happily no unrelated songs... just a magificent orchestral finale actually composed as majestic wrap-up to score. Wow! Michel Legrand conducts. Intrada Special Collection release available while quantities and interest remains!
