This film would have stood the test of trime better with an orchestral score.

I can't really disagree with your assessment but for some reason the contrast between the story and the seemingly inappropriate music worked for me then and still does. I can't really explain why.

My wife hates the score.

I hate to say this as a purist of movies generally, but I really wish they'd release it with a new score.

I am glad that someone else was bothered by the music. This was the beginning of using modern music in period pieces. The idea sucked. The music marred an otherwise excellent film.
