Last Tango in Paris (1973) Soundtrack Gato Barbieri

 Here. I love this soundtrack. I think Nigel House first alerted me to it. Spotify

The film score was composed by Gato Barbieri, arranged and conducted by Oliver Nelson, and the soundtrack album was released on the United Artists label.[30][31] AllMusic's Richie Unterberger noted "Although some of the smoky sax solos get a little uncomfortably close to 1970s fusion cliché, Gato Barbieri's score to Bertolucci's 1972 classic is an overall triumph. Suspenseful jazz, melancholy orchestration, and actual tangos fit the film's air of erotic longing, melancholy despair, and doomed fate".[29] The soundtrack includes "Six Penny Ride" by Trevor Duncan (1924-2005).
