Jerry Goldsmith was most aggrieved by the changes that Sir Ridley Scott and editor Terry Rawlings wrought upon his score. Scott felt that Goldsmith's first attempt at the score was far too lush, and needed to be a bit more minimalist. Goldsmith did a second attempt, but was horrified to discover that his amended score had been dropped in places by Rawlings, who inserted segments from Goldsmith's earlier score for Freud - Passioni segrete (1962) instead, and had replaced his finale with Howard Hanson's "Symphony No. 2". Rawlings had initially used these as a guide track only, but both he and Scott ended up preferring them to Goldsmith's revised work. Goldsmith harbored a grudge against the two for a long time, but was later quoted as saying that "Ridley is a brilliant filmmaker and I think that was just his second film and he wasn't as articulate then about what the music should do". Goldsmith's original score was later added as an alternative audio track on several DVD and BluRay editions of the film.
