I remember seeing this intro as a teen in the about 60's something....left and impression on me that never left. Cool isn't it?

Saul Bass made movie intros into an art form, did a lot of great openings like this.

This music is quite evocative and full of sensuality. Wonderful music theme and great movie intro.

I remember being so fasinated by the intro that i never really got into the movie.

Fantastic! I've always loved Bernstein and Bass, but didn't know of this until I recently saw the movie. Not bad, but the theme music and title sequence are definitely the best thing about it.

50 years ago and there still hasn't been a better opening sequence! Weird film - Laurence Harvey gets beaten up by a man with no legs.

Heavens to Murgatroid! One of the BEST title sequences in cinema history! Saul Bass was a true genius! In fact, the opening & closing portions of this film are better than the rest of the movie! Someone once told me he recalls a scene where Babs Stanwyck gives Capucine a spanking, but I don't recall any such scene. In any case, THANKS so much for posting this! Wonderful stuff! :-)

@Skidhblanir The godfather of jazz organ's version of the original composition, which was written by Elmer Bernstein for the movies.

@TheJoMoGoGo: I agree, but usually in combination with Elmer Bernstein's evocative jazz scores. My favorite opening credits are still the metamorphosing and intersecting line segments for "The Man With the Golden Arm." "Anatomy of a Murder" was good too. Bass worked well also with Hitchcock's favorite musical collaborator, Bernard Herrmann, especially "Psycho."
