Although I'm a Barry maniac, I'll pass this one. The Kaproff stuff is so incredibly mediocre, I
wonder how Mr. Barry dared to agree to this teaming.

John Barry composed the theme, Dana Kaproff, the rest of the score. I owned a 16mm print of the film for about 20 years. Sold it to a guy in Australia. A good film with great outdoors photography. Not a kids film as some might be led to believe by the marketing.

Strangely, im a JB nut as well but im gonna give this one a miss. Im not interested in co-composed scores, and wondering who composed/arranged what cues etc.

As far as I know, only the main theme was composed by Barry, the rest of the score, Kaproff. It's a beautiful score really.

I think Dana Kaproff is getting a bad rap here. I have the recording from the 1976 film "The Late Great Planet Earth" featuring an exceptional score by the guy. The problem with that recording, it's mostly narrated by Orson Welles and Hal Lindsey. The background music by Kaproff is great. Performed by the London Philharmonic Orchestra.

It's a pretty dismal film.

According to Hal Lindsey, we should have all been dead by now. He's a peculiar guy with his own news program here in the USA broadcast on one of the Jesus channels.

That's great. Now can we have The Deep?

Barry wrote seven tracks, not one! He also co-composed another five whilst Dana wrote seven alone. That's what I call a genuine collaboration.
