His work here is very similar to his score for My Name is Nobody, with an upbeat pop tune serving as the main theme, an adaptation of a classical song (in this case Für Elise) combined with the wailing from The Good, the Bad and the Ugly used for the stagecoach chase, and a sentimental, lyrical theme for the three protagonists.
His most famous role was in John Milius's historical epic The Wind and the Lion, where he played an evil German general; he also appeared, playing similar characters, in the Spaghetti Westerns A Fistful of Dynamite (1971) and My Name is Nobody (1973).
The theme tune used in the beginning of both series and during the closing credits for the first is an excerpt from the spaghetti western My Name Is Nobody, composed by the Italian film composer Ennio Morricone.
