Ennio Morricone “never sloughed off any assignment. Even B action pictures like ‘Guns for San Sebastian’ and ‘The Five Man Army,’ both from the late ’60s, sport glorious themes befitting far better movies. His thrillers veer into the avant-garde. Even infamous bombs, such as ‘Exorcist II: The Heretic’ and ‘Mission to Mars,’ were inevitably buoyed by Morricone music.”
