I absolutely love the 70's incidental music in this film.I think it's beautifull and very well suited to the film themes.I was wondering was there a soundtrack for this film that had this music on it.I know this sort of music was used a lot around the late 70's.I need to find out more about this.
shareSaw it for the first time last night and I too liked the score. In fact I thought the whole film was pretty good.
shareYes I noticed that it was on last night
shareThe score was by Henry Mancini, an iconic, mutiple Academy Award winner for his scores such as "Breakfast At Tiffany's" and the Pink Panther films.
The title track from NIGHTWING is available on two Mancini compilations, "Mancini In Surround" and "Mancini's Monster Hits". Information about both releases is here: http://www.soundtrackcollector.com/catalog/soundtrackdetail.php?movieid=26127
Unfortunately, a complete score CD has never been released for this title.
Cheers!

Henry Mancini's score has been released today as a limited edition of 1500 copies by Varese Sarabande.

Hey thanks Nice samples I might see if I can pick up a copy when they go on sale
shareToo late - it's already sold out. It's a web exclusive... you may still be able to get a copy at
http://www.screenarchives.com/title_detail.cfm?ID=12012
or
http://www.moviemusic.com/soundtrack/nightwing
I suggest you act fast or you may not be able to purchase one.
I bought...well, let's just say I bought a lot.

I missed out well maybe they might re-issue at some point since it sold pretty well
shareUnfortunately that's not how it works with the Club releases - usually once they are sold out that's it - perhaps Jack Morrisey will be kind enough to sell you one of the many copies he purchased at a not-too-inflated price?
shareYes I might try and buy a copy from him meanwhile perhaps someone might upload the main theme onto Youtube oh someone already has nice.
