Great, great film with a superb soundtrack! I think it takes amazing talent to make a movie so suspenseful and well done when the setting barely leaves one room throughout the film. Bravo Audrey and cast!
Jason--- One of my top 5 favorite films...From the dissonant piano chords at the film's opening at JFK, one is HOOKED!! Alan Arkin pulls off perhaps the greatest "make you jump" scene in film history!
@The Last of the Hylians I was 7 when it came out and we saw it as soon as it came out. I can't describe the feeling of an entire theater all gasping and feeling that terror all at once...THAT'S what I miss about going to the movies, in those great big movie palaces with art deco design...hey, I was lucky to have seen it. In his book on Horror films titled "Dance Macabre", Stephen King placed Alan Arkin's performance in multiple roles as Roat, Harry Jr. and Harry Roat Sr., as, and I am paraphrasing, "In my view Alan Arkin's performance as Harry Roat Jr. may be the greatest evocation of screen villainy ever...rivaling and perhaps surpassing Peter Lorre's in 'M'." That is the ultimate compliment from an impeccable judge!
Saw the film many times, but couldn’t remember if there was a theme song or not. My question was answered at the end of the film during the film’s credits. Was glad to hear it. And first I thought it was Nancy Sinatra, but changed my mind quickly & waited to find out who the singer was. Had never heard of her before or heard her since. Did I miss something? She had a pleasant enough voice in my opinion to have had a career singing & recording & doing live shows. Perhaps she did, & I just don’t know about it. I was a very young child in 1967, & the only music I knew from around that period was Sonny & Cher’s And the Beat Goes on & Lulu’s To Sir with Love, & the Beatles’ I Want to Hold Your Hand.
One of my children is named after my favorite actresses most famous movie although this is my favorite of Audrey's. You can always count on a father for the most nefarious remarks. :-)
Been looking for this for a long time. Now if I could only find a complete recording from another 1967 classic - "The Glory of Love" sung by Jacqueline Fontaine from the nightclub scene in "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner?"
This track almost seems out of place, especially in the "light" of the others what with all the creepy piano cords. No, the piano is not out of tune. The steps are just a quarter step apart.
Henry Mancini and Sue Raney: a great combination and a superb performance. Thanks, JazzysCookie
Wait Until Dark, excellent thriller and excellent song as well!
Sending heartfelt love and respect to Alan Arkin! A supreme talent and genuine nice guy. May Alan’s memory be a blessing. 🕯️🌹♥️
Wonderful Sue Raney!

@The Last of the Hylians As Mr. Smokey Robinson sang, "I second that emotion!" My ass STILL jumps when I see that and I know it's coming!!

Reminds of a Bond movie!!! Could've easily been in a Bond movie!!! Well, no wonder since Terence Young directed this

Not a fan of Audrey but I loved Alan Arkin in this film. The soundtrack was just magnificent and perfect .
WOW! Thats the first time I hear about someone who dislikes Audrey ! Im confused but impressed !

I would like to get this CD. Do they sell this and is it affordable?
Very limited pressing. Just checked the website of that S Am River - not available.
That organ is cool as can be. Probably a Farfisa or Vox Jaguar.
This is a more obscure and unheralded song by Mancini. It's a great one, nonetheless.
