The Manitou (Lalo Schifrin)

An evil and powerful medicine man is reincarnated as a fetus on the neck of Karen Tandy (Susan Strasberg) and her boyfriend, Harry Erskine (Tony Curtis) will do whatever it takes to save her. An out-there premise like this demands a similarly out-there treatment. The overqualified cast is admirably straight-faced given the silliness of the project, making for an engaging slice of cheese.

Lalo Schifrin provides a terrific score, with a beautiful love theme, effective suspense music and some neat Native American touches.
