Quatermass and the Pit (1967)
complete dvd soundtrack rip

from Wikipedia
Quatermass and the Pit is a 1967 British science-fiction / horror film, produced 
by Hammer Film Productions and based on the 1958 BBC Television serial of the 
same name. It was adapted by the writer Nigel Kneale from his own original 
television script, and directed by Roy Ward Baker. The film was designed by 
Bernard Robinson and scored by Tristram Cary. In the United States, it was 
released under the title Five Million Years to Earth.

The film was a sequel to two previous Hammer adaptations of Kneale's BBC 
serials: The Quatermass Xperiment (1955) and Quatermass 2 (1957). It was the 
first Quatermass production to be made in colour, and starred Scottish actor 
Andrew Keir as Professor Bernard Quatermass, replacing the American Brian 
Donlevy, who had starred in the previous two films.

In contrast to Donlevy, Keir's performance as Quatermass has been very 
well-received down the years, and the film is generally felt to be the most 
faithful of the three cinematic adaptations, although it was not as commercially 
successful as its predecessors. Nigel Kneale's script is in particular extremely 
close to his original television version, with whole scenes and chunks of 
dialogue remaining essentially untouched.

Other actors included Julian Glover as the army officer Colonel Breen, James 
Donald as the archeologist Roney, and Barbara Shelley as Roney's assistant Miss 
Judd. Also appearing in a small role as the drill operator Sladden was actor 
Duncan Lamont, who in 1953 had played the major part of astronaut Victor Caroon 
in the original Quatermass television serial, The Quatermass Experiment. Gareth 
Thomas, later to appear in popular 1970s television series [CENSORED]ren of the 
Stones and Blake's 7, makes a brief, non-speaking appearance in the opening 
scenes as a workman on the London Underground.

Quatermass and the Pit was the last Quatermass movie to be produced by Hammer, 
although after its release Kneale did pitch a storyline to the company for a 
further film written directly for the cinema. While it was not produced by 
Hammer, the storyline eventually formed the basis of the character's 1979 
swansong television serial Quatermass, screened on the ITV network.

Andrew Keir returned to play the character of Quatermass again in the 1996 radio 
serial The Quatermass Memoirs for BBC Radio 3, becoming one of only two actors – 
Brian Donlevy being the other – to play the role for a second time.
