2010 release. Digitmovies releases for the very first time on CD Carlo Rustichelli's complete original soundtrack in mono by for the adventure movie Il Sergente Klems (aka "Sergeant Klems"). Directed in 1971 by Sergio Grieco and starring Peter Strauss, Massimo Serato, Pier Paolo Capponi, Tina Aumont, Howard Ross, Pasquale Basile, Rossella Como, Luciana Paluzzi, Calisto Calisti, Dada Gallotti, Franco Ressel, Massimo Righi, Mario Donen, Raffaele Curi, Peter Berling, and Consalvo Dell'arti. Otto Joseph Klems, a young German officer, is imprisoned in 1918 during the battle of Artois. To escape death, he changes his own uniform with that of a dead Frenchman and is sent to Morocco where he is enlisted into the Foreign Legion. Arrested by Moroccans, he deserts and decides to fight on the rebels' side against the Spanish rulers. This project is possible thanks to Beat Records who have preserved the master tapes in mono of the original session conducted by Alessandro Blonksteiner in their archives. Carlo Rustichelli has written an orchestral score rich with all the musical elements of his long career. The author has composed an epic and nostalgic main theme which is introduced and characterized by exotic string glissandos and often reprised with orchestral variations. It gets alternated with mysterious, dramatic and action music often with a Middle Eastern atmosphere. A proper musical rescue and preservation of the Italian silver age as a tribute to Carlo Rustichelli.
