My friend film composer Herman Stein worked with Henry Mancini at Universal Studios from 1952 to 1957. They were the best of friends in the 1950s, but composition and production work got in the way of their contacts as time went on, and they only occasionally met for drinks or dinner in the 1960s. Hank was the best! A great guy, kind of shy, Herman said.
It is preposterous of Henry Mancini that he used all his efforts to make money out of a copyright-free film. Spotify has a very faulty version of this very album. Thank you so very much whoever uploaded this precious jewel here. 😊
Who can ever forget this iconic melody remember hearing it for the first time Just loved it, never forgotten it, Mr Henry Mancini is just phenomenal, this eerie haunting melody like a train in motion ABSOLUTLELY BRILLIANT, I have always loved Mr Henry Mancini work, his legacy will continue with this OUTSTANDING piece of music and OUTSTANDING soundtrack which includes the iconic movie. FABULOUS.
Interestingly enough, Cary Grant was approached to play the role of James Bond in 1962's Dr. No (the first Bond movie), but turned it down. Imagine that, the iconic "Bond. James Bond" being spoken by Cary Grant instead of Sean Connery.
@@gabrielarambula4465: OMG 😮❤!! Really..? Is that true ..? Yes… imagine Cary saying: My name is Bond…! James Bond … 😎 ♥️ I grew up with watching Cary Grant movies w/ my mom / parents… & looveee, loovee him… ❤ and I was born in the early 70’s 😊 🙂
@@mcveljoYes it's true. Cary Grant was the first choice for James Bond but knocked it back because he was only willing to do one film as he felt he was too old to do several movies which is what the producers wanted.
Caught this in a theater when it came out. I was a kid. You know what happens. The train comes, then a guy falls out of it and tumbles down a ravine right to the camera. And then pow! The screen is enveloped by arrows spinning, and the the music starts, the graphics evolve. One of the best free form moments in commercial cinema ever. Ever. A thrill to experience.
Title credits sequence by Maurice Binder, becoming famous simultaneously for Bond credits. Like Saul Bass (Psycho, North By Northwest, Vertigo), they changed the industry.
@@unowen-nh9ov That explains why the opening and theme sound seem so Bond-like. Thanks for that information. Also, nice reference to "Ten Little Indians."
Just a quick comment about the film. Even though I love it, (it's on TV almost twice a month), could have been better if they showed Paris more. Here there in one of the most beautiful cities on earth, and they spend way too much time in that rank hotel.
Henry Mancini.... A rare Genius. Who wove music along the plot/story, to add brilliant to the flow or composing a memorable OST. Which is so much alive meaningful ly today..... Excellent......🍿
As usual from the late 1950's through the 1970's and a bit beyond...Mancini had a one-of-a-kind style that was literally unmistakable in scoring movies: mellow...Latin style (a lot of them)...a well disciplined group of musicians who understood well the composer/conductor Henry Mancini. The scenes were beautiful in the movie. Super good, Fred!
Henry Mancini's music includes some wonderful pieces to dance to, but in CHARADE he knew just when and how to score suspense music! I just love this score as well as the movie!
Henry Mancini was a real godsend. So many fantastic soundtracks. I grew up in the 60s, and he was just it. He had me at "The Pink Panther". Even the short incidental pieces in his soundtracks are so romantic and warm.
That title music (and sequence!) is so intensely wonderful that you almost don't know how they can go on and have a film after that. I could leave after those two minutes dazzled enough. But it's one of the most purely enjoyable films of the sixties, and one that loves to be seen over and over. An original 1-sheet has been framed and matted in my home for many years. One of Mancini's crown jewels (and one for everyone else involved, too).
Mancini scored (so to speak) Hepburn repeatedly, supposedly she sent him a hand-written note requesting he do Two For the Road (successfully! Who says no to Audrey?).
un superbe film que j'ai découvert il y à peu........et une musique fantastique comme tout ce qu'à créé le grand Henry Mancini !!!!!! excellent ! je m'abonne .
Mancini always re-recorded his film scores for "soundtrack albums," but this is the REAL OST. I loved the music when I first saw the movie, and I'm so glad it's now available as we heard it in the movie!
Henry Mancini was such a great composer. The "Peter Gunn" theme music alone assured him fame, and he had many more compositions that were absolutely wonderful. I saw him on "The Lawrence Welk Show" once, and he was so cool conducting the orchestra. That guy was great.
There are too many arranged version of Charade main theme. I was looking for the original soundtrack. But, I’ve finally found it ! Thank you for uploading this !
what mancini did for cinema is never to be underestimated. how many films would be average without his tunes. they are timeless and universal. he is one of the reasons why i work in film business...his magic casted a spell on me. and i still love it
About 7:35 I heard the whole horn section breathe simultaneously. So beautiful. That tells me human beings are playing this gorgeous music. So special.
Oh My God. Let the memories flow. I am in the living room with my older brother in the late sixties watching this movie with my Mother and Step-Father. This was a time a family could sit and watch a movie together without the sex and the violent or profanity. those were the days. Oh, how I missed them.
Actually, Grant had declined earlier films with Hepburn because of their age difference, he insisted on rewrites that made clear she was chasing him, for his last romantic lead.
This suite (from one of my favourite movies of all time I might add) has brought me to a whole new plane of music enjoyment. I cannot thank you enough for this!!!!
Had this record for many years but this version here is the actual recordings made for the films' optical tracks. All of Henry Mancini's soundtracks were re-recorded for a better balance and to free them of time constraints of their movies. Here you can get a good idea that Henry was a master of suspenseful build up, with different tempi and often smaller arrangements.
Me reporto aos meus 12/13 anos, ouvindo no radio da minha casa, um programa que se chamava Músicas na Passarela, onde ouvia essas maravilhas…. Saudades Magnífico esse cara, campeão!🥇
The ONLY version of this amazing soundtrack on iTunes is nothing compared to this.Bummer. :( Thank you 4 posting this. Pitch perfect to the movie. I tip my hat to you sir.
Might just be one of his best "Themes" for a film. But then.... Arabesque, Breakfast at Tiffany's ,Wait until Dark, and of course, The Pink Panther. The list goes on. His film scores are part of Hollywood royalty.
sal economies - nice list of great movies with vintage themes! It's a real shame movies like this aren't made anymore, the decline of liberal run Hollyweird. Now it's all celebrated gun violence in films, by anti gun liberals. Mental illness on full display for all to see...
So much fun to listen to this after listening to Soundtrack Fred's suite of Bernard Herrmann's score for NORTH BY NORTHWEST. Two movies, CHARADE released four years after NxNW was released, each with a different director and a different composer, but both romantic comedy thrillers featuring Cary Grant. You can't mistake Henry Mancini's CHARADE score for the NxNW score, and yet both scores are invigorating, wonderful complements to the movies they were composed for.
I do hear a similar instrumentation--the guitar playing the CHARADE melody, and the guitar playing the James Bond theme first heard in DR. NO. But Mancini came to film scoring from dance band experience, and Barry came to film scoring from rock band experience. So, whatever the similarities, the overall effect is MANCINI in CHARADE, and BARRY in FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE. (Both terrific musicians.)
Style, Class, Quality ~ and this Movie has a good high quality copy on RUclips as I write this. Starring Audrey Kathleen Ruston born Belgium and Archibald Alexander Leach born Bristol UK :) Mancini to me was always a good composer of tunes we could use in our Dance Band.
The reason this movie is obscure is that due to a legal technicality, the movie has always been in the public domain (ergo, no budget for promotion after the initial release). Manicini was a bit more attentive, the soundtrack is the only part of the movie with a copyright.
Henry Mancini did it his way for CHARADE, just as Bernard Herrmann did it his way for NORTH BY NORTHWEST. You can't mistake one movie for the other, nor one score for the other, and yet these are both romantic comedy thrillers, rarely done to perfection as these two movies were.
Very different creators, Mancini tended to romances while Herrmann did much genre fantasy work, decades before that was the norm in Hollywood. Remember, Herrmann did Vertigo, Psycho & The Birds as well (with NO music in the latter!). while Mancini did Pink Panther.
@@unowen-nh9ov Herrmann did a great romantic adventure score for Hitchcock's NORTH BY NORTHWEST. Also, one of his last scores was for FAHRENHEIT 451, one of the most beautiful movie scores ever. Another one he knew how to score was THE GHOST AND MRS. MUIR--very romantic! But you're right--Herrmann will never be mistaken for Mancini, nor will Mancini ever be mistaken for Herrmann!
The screenwriter, Peter Stone, has a cameo in the film as the embassy employee who bluffed his boss out of the pot with a pair of deuces. A couple of years later he wrote the script for the film "Mirage" with Gregory Peck and Diane Baker.
Definitely a more complete version of the soundtrack than the LP of the soundtrack I have. These are very nicely remastered, presumably from the original master soundtrack tapes. Very nice. Too back I don't have $75 to drop on the CD.
Just love the commercials that pop up during the middle of various tracks. It really adds to the ambiance and my wanting to keep listening to the soundtrack. I think you should add in 15 more commercials to make it even better!
Hello Christian, really sorry to hear that. Unfortunately I am not able to turn off those commercials. The copyright holders decide when and where to place those ads. I have no power about that at all. I am sorry for you and others. Fred

Excellent music score by the genius of MANCINI!
Henry phoned me once to see if I could set up a film recording session for him. I was speechless! What a great musician!
What a great movie, enhanced by Mancini music. I bought the soundtrack before I saw the movie. Loved Mancini music that much!
Nice contrast of drums and hollow body electric "surf" guitar... the jazz piano at the end is 60s cool..
Good call , Surf guitar
Sound of an era

Excellent modern romantic comedy thriller soundtrack! Still fresh today as it was in 1963 when it was first released. Mancini was a genius
YES 🙏😎♥️
Just one word... Delightful! Thank you Maestro!
It is preposterous of Henry Mancini that he used all his efforts to make money out of a copyright-free film. Spotify has a very faulty version of this very album. Thank you so very much whoever uploaded this precious jewel here. 😊
How can a human being compose something like this? A masterpiece. Also a great picture.
Check out gumnaam Hai koi....copied from this....but Shankar jaikishan made it better than this...
Everything Henry Mancini composed was just pure class 👌💖💖💖
As a little boy, Henry Mancini's music spoke directly to me. I could play all his themes by ear
I understand. However, it was music in my ears and I never learned how to play music. Take care.
Who can ever forget this iconic melody remember hearing it for the first time Just loved it, never forgotten it, Mr Henry Mancini is just phenomenal, this eerie haunting melody like a train in motion ABSOLUTLELY BRILLIANT, I have always loved Mr Henry Mancini work, his legacy will continue with this OUTSTANDING piece of music and OUTSTANDING soundtrack which includes the iconic movie.

The music and acting when I was a kid made me feel like this was in the James Bond universe.
The Titles were created by Maurice Binder who designed the titles for the Bond films of the 60s.
Interestingly enough, Cary Grant was approached to play the role of James Bond in 1962's Dr. No (the first Bond movie), but turned it down.

Wooow was für gigantische super tolle Musik ein mega guter Sound.
Charade.... i adore this movie!
It's in the public domain so it gets shown a LOT on TV and is available in many low cost home video versions. A good thriller, I must say !
The best movie Hitchcock never made.
They totally messed up the remake, but then again, they usually do.
I love this film and never get tired of watching it again. Wonderful actors and amazing mesmerzing music!!! Henry Mancini was a genius!!!
Loved this film very much...infact all the Cary Grant's films
Beautiful and elegant soundtrack. Just really Henry Mancini.
Absolutely Fantastic
Henry Mancini's music includes some wonderful pieces to dance to, but in CHARADE he knew just when and how to score suspense music! I just love this score as well as the movie!

One of the best movie soundtracks ever, that's for sure.
You have good taste, Soundtrack Fred! This blows today's music away, on every level and in every way! Damn, this is so good!!
A composer master that creates a sound experience on its own and also evokes the mood of the screenplay

Mancini in no less than Genius

The opening scene's background composition is awesome.This Stanley Donan movie is great n enjoyable.Cary Grant n Audrey Hepburn look awesome.

Just saw this movie. It was beautiful! I'm already loving Mancini throughout watching Audrey's films. He's amazing
This first score is stuck in my mind! Epic in my book!
There are too many arranged version of Charade main theme.
I was looking for the original soundtrack. But, I’ve finally found it !
Thank you for uploading this !
@Jim Spond omg, I didn't notice that there was a slight difference.
great composer great music that will live forever.thanks to those who kept it on youtube.

Heck..I love his early work..Tarantula and This Island Earth
what a wonderful album❤❤❤

Look up the Jack Jones version of the main song ! MAGNIFICENT !!!!!
This suite (from one of my favourite movies of all time I might add) has brought me to a whole new plane of music enjoyment. I cannot thank you enough for this!!!!
I loved him, his music, what a musical legend.
Mancini is straight gangsta
Che film, che musica. Che meraviglia ❤❤❤❤❤
