Despite rumors to the contrary, the credited composer for
this movie was a noted Spanish composer in his own right. Ángel Oliver Pina who
was born in Moyuela, Zaragoza, Spain on January 2, 1937 and died in Madrid on
April 25, 2005 and won numerous music awards including the Gran Premio di Roma
in 1965. The notion that he was a pseudonym of veteran Italian composer Carlo
Rustichelli is a misconception. Music publisher CAM's copyright catalog (entry
#517) registers the score to two separate composers, namely Carlo Rustichelli
and Ángel Oliver Pina.
