In 1973 The Man Who Loved Cat Dancing made headlines more for its behind-the-scenes shenanigans than its artistic accomplishment. A beautifully shot western and love story starring Burt Reynolds and Sarah Miles, both leads were called to testify in court after the mysterious death (later ruled a suicide) of Miles's manager/boyfriend on location. Later, Reynolds suffered a hernia while filming a fight scene and had to be hospitalized, leaving director Richard C. Sarafian and M-G-M scrambling to the make the film's release date.

FSM's CD features Williams's complete, previously unreleased score for The Man Who Loved Cat Dancing, including deleted and alternate cues. It also features Legrand's complete recorded score, including a six-minute jazz improvisation on his main theme—not only previously unreleased, but previously unheard. The all-stereo CD is a priceless and rare opportunity to hear two distinguished composers' take on the same cinematic subject matter. Liner notes are by John Williams webmaster Jeff Eldridge.
