what is the music in the beginning and end of the trailer?

[Ernests Ābiķis]

Isn't it by John Morris, the composer? There's a soundtrack. I haven't got it yet, though. Get it and find out yourself or wait till I do one day.

I find myself singing "Springtime for Hitler" all the time when I'm distracted. This movie is one of the funniest ever made.

If Zero Mostel, who plays Max in this movie, hadn't died before 1986, I think he would have been a great choice for Mushnik in Frank Oz's Little shop of horrors. But he died in I think 1977 so he couldn't have been in consideration.

Hmm, sadly I think I like the 2005 cast better.

[TheVirajster]

The remake comes no where close to the original. Zero & Gene were like Laurel & Hardy. Lane & Broderick had no real chemistry. Plus the fact that Mel was really 'hungry' when he made it in '68. The cast back then was impeccable...& to think Sid Caesar was going to play Kenneth Mars role initially. Then I heard it was Dustin Hoffman! That would not work!!!

[Sarah Penney]

I always sing along to Spring Time for Hitler, forgetting I have Nigerian housemates.. Ooops.

1:22 Is that a girl from Mondo Topless (1966)? ô_o

[Kortney Mc Donald]

Das ist nicht lustig! Mein Großvater starb bei Konzentrationslager Auschwitz.

[R McNulty]

going to see a play of this tongiht!

[Rachel Coates]

"Ooooooohhh! I want that money!"

Probably one of the best lines in movie history.

[bobgrantsbus]

Hilarious classic film.

[EuphrasieF]

This version is better in most respects, although the remake is still okay to watch.

the full version of this piece of music is on Youtube on the video titled "Spiderman '60s cartoon music - part 4" go to the 8:15 minute mark, and also on the Youtube video "Spider Man Blueprint For Crime original 60s music video". Once again, a great piece of music, I remember hearing this on sports shows and as background music for local television commercials in the late 60s.
