Jerry Goldsmith's orchestral soundtrack to Franklin J. Schaffner's classic prison escape movie from 1973, Papillon, starring Steve McQueen and Dustin Hoffman. Papillon was based on the amazing true life story of Henri Charriere (nicknamed "Papillon" because of the butterfly tattooed on his chest), a Frenchman sentenced to life at Devil's Island (a penal colony in French Guiana, South America) for a murder he did not commit. The Papillon soundtrack was nominated for the "Best Music, Original Dramatic Score" Oscar in 1974. Download.
