    I'm tempted to suggest that you go hunting 'the trail of your pink panther' dvd but I won't say that because it would be unkind lol

    Critics and material I don't need. I haven't changed my act in 53 years.

    It's disapointing and embarrasing, yes. I can assure everyone that the rumours that Higgins has me tied up in a cellar are malicious and completely untrue.

    So, your asking me for ropes and duct tape was completely unconnected, Higgins?

    10 minutes to go. Gentlemen, get your players started and pause right before the MGM lion.


    We hit the play button at 20:00 sharp

    Barbel, what‘s your opinion about the music?

    Before the MGM lion it is. Add a cheroot and there's another big cat that could have had its own spin-off TV show...

    I have my blu-ray cued at the MGM lion. No doubt I will end up a few minutes behind European DVD viewers by the end, but never mind. 24 frames per second is how nature intended the film to be played.

    I'm sure Barbel will comment on the music as the film unfolds. I personally enjoy the music very much. The main title theme is obviously iconic. There are also some other very nice tracks on the soundtrack LP...I personally enjoy 'The Village Inn', 'It Had Better Be Tonight' and 'Shades of Sennet'.

    I mean, can you imagine any other long running movie series that all started with the same theme? ....Oh, wait....

    Hey, a PTS! That's a good idea!

    An iconic main title sequence. This came out approximately a year after Dr. No. I can't think of any other movies with main title sequences of such art and inventiveness before these films.

    Looks like a Studio Set!

    I love that lavish set with its pink colorisation

    So we start with the main female character as a young girl, then leap forward to when she's grown up. Sound familiar?

  • Shady TreeShady Tree London, UKPosts: 2,965MI6 Agent

    It's such a witty titles sequence, self-referential and establishing the tone of the film.

    Oh, the negativity, Barbel 😉

    It's not surprising the Panther got his own cartoon series.

    How does Mancini hold up against Barry, Barbel?

    He's less varied, for one thing, but just as imaginative.

    The later title sequences became a bit more elaborate (The Pink Panther Strikes Again is probably my favourite, all those movie references) but the original remains a terrific piece of work.
