Only on LP so far - one of Schifrin's greatest scores - Nunzio !!!
If no-one else does it, one has to do it oneself - so here is one of Schifrin's finest scores, "Nunzio" from 1978.
The story centers around mentally retarded Nunzio (David Proval) who dreams about being a superhero. Everyone in the little Italian community makes jokes about him and a lot of times his bother (Joe Spinell) has to look out for him. However, at the end of the movie Nunzio recues a little girl out of a burning house and is the hero of the day.
Schifrin's score is divided in three categories: soft piano pieces (played by Mike Lang) for the relationship between Nunzio and his brother, fantastic up-tempo action music for the adventures of Nunzio and two nice disco versions of the main themes. The "Main Title" and "Superspeed" are definitely among Schifrin's finest action writing ever. Dramatic strings over hectic snare drums punctuated by kettle drums - incredible !!!

I caught this on a late late show back in the early 80s, and liked it. But I haven't seen it (or heard anyone even mention it!) before now.
Thanks!

Thank you for finding and bringing this score for his fans without turntables to hear.
Makes me wish Universal/MCA had given "The Nude Bomb" a release.
Certainly that film had a higher profile than little Nunzio.
