The music in this movie was extremely beautiful! I loved it! Hoyt Kurtain is the most underrated composer of all time!!! Those ethereal guitar tones were like a heavenly nightingales in the garden of eden!!
sharestrangely enough..i liked it too. where can i get a copy of the soundtrack??,or that song since its the same thing playing over and over
shareDon't forget to watch Mesa of Lost Women for the same soundtrack, as it was originally intended. Lyle Talbot narrates over the soundtrack at the beginning saying things like "maybe these are elusive images caused by roasting the optic nerve", and "the desert of death", and "the Muerto Desert, true to its name, will convert them into dead things".
shareActually, it's Hoyt Curtin ... who later became music director at Hanna-Barbera (creating memorable music for the Flintstones, Jetsons, Jonny Quest, and hundreds of other cartoons). The "Jail Bait" credits misspelled his name. And yes, the music in "Jail Bait" was composed for "Mesa of Lost Women" (directed by Ron Ormond, who rivaled Wood in ineptitude - Ormond later found religion and directed bad Christian films such as "The Burning Hell.") Curtin was not paid for the reuse of his music in the later film.

I'm glad someone enjoyed it. It somehow makes my suffering worthwhile.
Out of thousands of films, the only soundtrack I've ever enjoyed LESS is Black Orpheus. I think people went deaf for a while in the 1950s.
