The film was made by 20th Century Fox and is notable for being the first film released in the widescreen process <a title=\"CinemaScope\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/CinemaScope\">CinemaScope<\/a>. The music was composed by distinguished film composer Alfred Newman. When the original soundtrack album was issued on LP by Decca Records, it used a remix for only monaural sound rather than the stereo sound that was originally recorded. MCA, which acquired the rights to the American Decca recordings, issued an electronic stereo version of the mono tape in the mid-60s. This transcription is from a second-generation rainbow-bar label Decca (US) LP in mint condition. I have remixed the sound to the original mono,\u00a0 eliminating the ringing caused by the electronic pseudo-stereo separation and the echo plates used to create reverb. The results are true to the original movie sound source (which subsequently have been reported as deteriorated beyond restoring).<\/p>\n<p>This classic soundtrack, along with a growing selection of\u00a0previously out-of-print\u00a0soundtracks as well as classical titles, may be found at <a title=\"Classical LPs and reel tapes restored and reissued on CD\" href=\"http:\/\/klassichaus.us\/index.php\" target=\"_blank\">Klassic Haus Restorations<\/a>.
