Response
The highly dramatic film includes a closely aligned, romantic musical score created by long-time composer Ennio Morricone. Never previously released in any format, the entire score and extra music were released in 2011 by La-La Land Records. The definitive, 2-CD treatment, some of it never before been heard, has several cues and portions of others that were dropped from the final cut of the film. Produced by Dan Goldwasser and mastered by Mike Matessino, the CD release includes source cues and alternate takes, as well as exclusive, in-depth liner notes by film music writer Daniel Schweiger. It was limited to an edition of 3,000 copies.
The film has been criticized for distortion for dramatic effect, and is also cited as an example of miscasting in its choices of Paul Newman for the role of General Groves, and Dwight Schultz for the role of Oppenheimer. The film made under $4 million on its original release.
The film was entered into the 40th Berlin International Film Festival.
