Edited 2 years agoJust rediscovered this in my collection. Awesome. If it wasn't for "Potters Field" - a noir epic that demands your attention with stabs of strings and brass and sounds like something Bob Fosse would choreograph to, complete with tipped fedora hats - this would be great cool background music for the part of a dinner party where the conversation turns deep. -
