Blake Edwards' screen adaptation of Truman Capote's novella stars
Audrey Hepburn as Holly Golightly, an eccentric high-class escort
working in New York. When young writer Paul Varjack (George
Peppard) - the kept man of a wealthy older woman - moves into
Holly's apartment block, he finds inspiration when he falls in love
with her. Daring in its day, it is believed by some that Peppard
was chosen because he bore an uncanny resemblance to Capote
himself.
Sherlock Holmes' mouse counterpart Basil lives in the basement of
221B Baker Street, just below the great man himself. Hired to
locate a kidnapped toymaker, Basil and his trusty sidekick Dawson
soon find themselves up against their arch-enemy Professor Ratigan.
It seems Ratigan wants to use the toymaker to make a mechanical
replica of the Queen who will then bestow the villain with the
right to rule over rodent London - but not if Basil can find a way
to stop him.

Classic 1950s sci-fi. Philanthropic Dr Reemer (Leo G. Carroll) has
developed a new radioactive serum that can make animals grow at an
enormous rate, and he plans to use it to help solve the world's
food shortage. But when an accident in the lab leads to the serum
infecting a tarantula, the situation suddenly becomes much more
serious. Escaping into the desert, the deadly giant tarantula
starts hunting human prey, and it's up to square-jawed doctor Matt
Hastings (John Agar) and Reemer's assistant Stephanie (Mara Corday)
to track it down and destroy it.
Best known for the "dead-ant" theme to the Pink Panther films,
Henry Mancini also composed the music to Peter Gunn, Breakfast at
Tiffany's, Orson Welles' Touch of Evil, and the Academy Award
winning soundtracks to Victor/Victoria and The Days of Wine and
Roses. In a career that lasted over thirty years, Mancini amassed
twenty Grammy awards and more nominations than any other composer.
In his memoir, written with jazz expert Lees, Mancini discusses his
close friendships with Blake Edwards, Julie Andrews, and Paul
Newman, his professional collaborations with Johnny Mercer, Luciano
Pavarotti, and James Galway, and his achievements as a husband,
father, and grandfather. A great memoir loaded with equal parts
Hollywood glitz and Italian gusto.
For eight players. This is a medley of two memorable tunes from the
motion picture series, The Pink Panther, by the great film and
television composer, Henry Mancini. Both "The Inspector Clouseau
Theme" and the main theme of The Pink Panther showcase Mancini's
clever, jazzy themes and musical comic wit. Mancini's compositions
were instrumental to director Blake Edwards comedy classics, but
even when heard outside of the films, his music is beloved and is
instantly recognizable by all generations. This is sure to be a
crowd pleaser and a toe-tapper
