One of the best scores ever recorded in the late 20th Centur

"And that ain't hyperbole.
Probably Lalo's best score, THE FOX haunts with its oriental simplicity and lovely themes. Performed with a small ensemble, and featuring some stunning piano solos, this soundtrack only has one piece of fodder, Anne Heywood singing a bit of Victorian trashiness called "Roll it Over". Otherwise, it's an exceptional recording, and better than the "re-recording" issued in 2002, which is pretty, but these recordings have a certain something that just can't be duplicated. Eerie, forlorn, and... well, think intense sexual desire on a cold, cold autumn afternoon draped in melancholy. "Lonely Road" is priceless, and for sixties' song enthusiasts, it doesn't get more sultry than Sally Stevens singing the title song "That Night".
Get it!"

"The movie is an adaptation of D.H. Lawrence's tale of two lesbi-hens living together on a remote Canadian farm, and what happens when, one snowy winter, the fox arrives in the form of a man and soon runs wild in the henhouse. The music is quietly beautiful and one can hear "Europa" is simply an electric guitar version of the main theme here. This soundtrack is fairly rare, as is the movie, which is currently unavailable for rent or purchase.
And to correct another reviewer, this movie is not from 1978. It premiered in Canada in December 1967 and was released in America in February 1968."
