Digitmovies is re-releasing on CD the OST by Franco Micalizzi for the film ''Merciless
Man'' (original title ''Genova a mano armata'').
SOUNDTRACK
Franco Micalizzi wrote one of his best OSTs for the Poliziesco genre with this one
(the main theme is one of Micalizzi's favorites and he often performs it live in
concert with his orchestra BIG BUBBLING BAND). The OST opens with the strong
main score written for woodwinds and percussion, which is then reprised with
different arrangements throughout the film. It is also alternated with moments of
suspense. The violent urban jungle atmosphere is broken by "Sambamba", a sunny
pop piece with a Latin sound written for choir and orchestra. For this CD, the master
tapes of the recording session were used.
DIRECTOR AND CAST
Directed in 1976 by Mario Lanfranchi. Starring: Tony Lo Bianco, Maud Adams, Adolfo
Celi, Howard Ross, Barbara Vittoria Calori, Fiona Florence, Luigi Bonos.
