The star of the film is Ewa Aulin who never did many more or memorable films but the backing cast is astounding! They include Charles Aznavour, Marlon Brando, Richard Burton, James Coburn, John Huston, Walter Matthau and Ringo Starr in a non-singing role. It has cameo roles by Sugar Ray Robinson, Anita Pallenberg, Florinda Bolkan, Marilù Tolo, Nicoletta Machiavelli, Umberto Orsini, and Enrico Maria Salerno.

As with many soundtrack albums I have, I never actually saw the film; I am only familiar with the music from the film.    

Birth By Descent is a pretty cool cut; it starts out sounding very Spanish then goes into a very short but trippy instrumental segment, with trumpet by Don Ellis. then back to a Spanish feeling.

Border Town Blues: A Blunt Instrument starts very slow with a Spanish guitar then gets trippy with great effects
