This week on Film Score Friday, we listen to the score from The Great Train Robbery. Jerry Goldsmith wrote the score for this 1979 caper film. There was a period of years in the 1970s when despair was a consistent theme in movies. The music often matched this theme. In a sea of gloom, this film and its music was a welcome return to fun and whimsy. Goldsmith wrote a fun score here. It's not remembered as well as many of his other works, but it's worth of your time. Enjoy!
