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.
The Pink Panther diamond has been stolen again and Inspector
Clouseau (Peter Sellers) is called in to find the thief.
Christopher Plummer has taken over David Niven's role as number one
suspect, but this time he is innocent and decides he'll have to
find the culprit himself if he wants to avoid a life behind bars.
Clouseau, meanwhile, conducts the police investigation in his
idosyncratic style.

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.

Classic late period film noir directed by virtuoso Orson Welles. A
sweaty thriller set in a hellish border town, it stars Charlton
Heston as Mike Vargas, the self-righteous Mexican cop who goes up
against Welles' monumental Hank Quinlan, an old-time detective who
fabricates evidence in order to mount a case based on gut-instinct.
Famous for its incredibly choreographed seven-minute opening shot,
Henry Mancini's powerful score, and the faded magnificence of the
Quinlan character, it is often considered to be Welles' second
masterpiece.
