Good score by Lalo that j 'I discovered late in life, this is one of his first written for a film soundtrack. It contains already some ingredients of what would become essential in the following years. Namely a form of jazz that is so dear to him and whose swing is never absent. Having been fortunate to have seen the movie, I can say that music fits perfectly with the mood of black and white feature film by René Clément. According to Lalo Schifrin himself, it seems that this is his favorite soundtrack for a French film ... the mix is amazing!
Between swing and moods, this soundtrack is not, strictly speaking, "groove". Therefore substantially different from his other soundtracks as can be "Bullitt" or "Dirty Harry". The main theme has basically been "popularized" by Jimmy Smith can be found here including the two songs "The Cat" and "Theme From Joy House" as a bonus. Source: original cd.
