Liner notes read; Dino is the story of a juvenile delinquent and his efforts, through the aid of a social worker (Brian Keith) and a girl with whom he falls in love to rehabilitate himself for a fine place in society. After having participated in a murder during a warehouse robbery and having served 3 years in a house of correction, Dino, only 17, is filled with hate and a rebellious attitude when he comes out of the reformatory as a parolee.

The score is dark and moody jazz with copious amounts of wild abandoned jazz as well

This OST is 1 of the sounds where the phrase "crime jazz/jazz noir" comes from.
