<P> The film was shot in Panavision, an anamorphic format . </P> <P> The film's score is by Elmer Bernstein . Along with the readily recognized main theme and effective support of the story line, the score also contains allusions to twentieth - century symphonic works, such as the reference to Bartok's Concerto for Orchestra, second movement, in the tense quiet scene just before the shoot out . The original soundtrack was not released at the time until reused and rerecorded by Bernstein for the soundtrack of Return of the Seven . Electric guitar cover versions by Al Caiola in the U.S. and John Barry in the U.K. were successful on the popular charts . A vocal theme not written by Bernstein was used in a trailer . </P> <P> In 1994, James Sedares conducted a re-recording of the score performed by The Phoenix Symphony Orchestra, which also included a suite from Bernstein's score for The Hallelujah Trail, issued by Koch Records; Bernstein himself conducted the Royal Scottish National Orchestra for a performance released by RCA in 1997, but the original film soundtrack was not released until the following year by Rykodisc .
