Hard to believe now but Ortolani also scored the Shirley MacLaine compo film The Yellow Rolls Royce back in the 60's, as well as the brilliantly funky scores to The Biggest Bundle Of Them All (great album cover) and the Swinging London The Bliss Of Mrs Blossom (another MacLaine movie).
His score to Mondo Cane is a thing of beauty (unlike the film) and the theme tune, which later became the classic lounge song More, is absolutely amazing. Check out Danny Williams's outstanding version of it.
