The last word in film scores. Genius.
One of the greatest film soundtracks of the 20th Century created by one of the most gifted (and irascible) film score composers of all time. Have a wonderful weekend folks.

A second instrumental Jam in a row... I think that's a first for me.

Herrmann's haunting yet horrifying score for Taxi Driver. Romanticised noir has never been so beguiling...
I saw this film first when Paul Shrader brought a pre-release copy to the University of Michigan in 1975. Due to agreements with the producers we were, at the last minute, not permited to pay. So we saw the uncensored film (now lost), introduced by the screen writer, for free. From the opening credits, I knew it was something special. I have never watched a film the same old way since that night.
