Saw this movie for the first time about two months ago, and talk of a serious brainwashing. ha ha. And this song has become my very favorite from this masterpiece of a movie. Could listen to this over and over. ha ha. Henry Mancini's Expanded Score of this movie just came out last year, can't wait to buy it as soon as I see it.
I too am a 60's movies person, and there is a very good reason for that! Times were still normal back then, before all the technology, and the music was superb! Henry Mancini, of course, a true genius! His fabulous music lives on. Peace to all.
