I think RED RIVER and DUEL OF THE SUN are not always that overblown. But I am biased like his westerns specifally. Like some other Golden Age composers Tiomkin works pretty good on themes/suites compilations. I think I had these before even diving into full scores:

Vocalion released a version of the GErhardt compilation with a bonus suite of THING FROM ANOTHER WORLD which is also missing on the 12 CD Gerhardt bargain box that was released a few years ago:
