Music

Music for the film was written by Astor Piazzolla and Lucio Milena. At the persuasion of Egle Martin, Piazzolla set the poem "Graciela Oscura" by Ulyses Petit de Murat to music for the film; this song was repeated several times in the movie, and was reported to be the main attraction of the film when it opened at the Cine Monumental in the spring of 1964.[1]
