After award-winning composer Leonard Rosenman recorded a score for the film, which he personally didn't care for but was given freedom to be experimentally creative, the score was rejected. While Jerry Goldsmith is credited with "Music" on the film's credits, the credit is misleading as he composed no original score for the film, instead it was tracked with cues from four other westerns he scored: 100 Rifles (1969); Rio Conchos (1964); Morituri (1965) and Stagecoach (1966) . Which is why he did not receive a credit like "Original Music composed & Conducted by".
