Film Score Monthly has released a nifty double feature soundtrack CD that includes both Johnny Mandel’s score for Point Blank and Jerry Fielding’s score for The Outfit. It’s a quality package that includes a 24-page booklet with extensive liner notes. If soundtracks are your thing, get it now as it’s a limited […] Those of you in the Bay area can see Point Blank and The Outfit at the Castro on Friday, February 13th. Also of note is the Richard Widmark double feature the night before. |
