Anecdotes
Miklós Rózsa's score is one of the few movie scores to make extensive use of the cimbalom. The instrument can be seen being played at the beginning of the film.

During Tanner's high speed jeep ride into the desert the tires squeal even though they're traveling on sand.

Not too bad, but could have been great

George Pal's/Byron Haskin's version of "The Power" (based on the good novel by Frank Robinson, not the baseball player) is actually pretty entertaining and thrilling despite the relatively poor production values - quite a bit of 1960s cheesiness - but still the cast of stalwarts gives it all and it is probably the best George Pal film after 1960's "The Time Machine." Acting kudos go to Michael Rennie, Aldo Ray (!!!) and even, who would have thought it, star George Hamilton. This is one of those films whose concept far exceeds its execution but I still feel somewhat generous as I remembered it fondly from my youth and seeing it about 30 years later found out that it held up pretty well.

And a great score by Miklos Rozsa too.
