A great movie

This movie didn't really have a conventional plot (you know, "Boy finds girl, boy loses girl, girl finds boy, boy forgets girl, boy remembers girl, girls dies in a tragic blimp accident over the Orange Bowl on New Year's Day."), but instead had an atmosphere. When there is no clear plot it takes a great filmmaker to make a movie good and Elia Kazan sure did that.

I saw it for the first time in 1976, at the time of the release. I love this movie. And the actors behave perfectly (all the cameos).
I would like to find the soundtrack that's also great.
