Born Free - Matt Monro!

The full version of the classic song, the soundtrack to the 1966 film 'Born Free' about lionesss Elsa...

The Snowman!

After building my own snowman yesterday, I was reminded of the timeless 1982 animated Christmas classic from Raymond Briggs, about a little boy who builds a snowman, that takes him on an adventure one snowy night...

And, while researching You Tube for the above, I also came a cross this curio, taken from a morning TV programme - Aled Jones, as a young chorister had great success with the the Snowman's theme tune 'Walking in the Air' and unlike many young choir boys fortunately retained his clear voice when it broke as a teenager [I'll also add he kept his youthful good looks & his faith too]...

Breakfast @ Tiffany's!

Hearing a few cords of the wistful song 'Moon River' on the radio, sent me in search of a favourite film, 'Breakfast @ Tiffinys' [1961] staring Audrey Hepburn @ her most delightful as Holly Golightly.

Struggling writer Paul Varjak [George Peppard] moves into a New York apartment building on Manhattan's swank East Side and becomes intrigued by his pretty, quirky neighbor Holly Golightly.

Holly's lifestyle confuses and fascinates him. In public she flits through parties with a sexy, sophisticated air, but when they're alone she changes into a sweetly vulnerable girl. Totally madcap, she has a partially furnished apartment, owns a cat with no name, gets rid of the "mean reds" by visiting Tiffany's jewellery store...A light-hearted comedy & romantic drama in one, it's never lost its charm to me.

The Pink Panther!

Although, not the greatest Peter Sellers fan - he, as Inspector Clouseau in the Pink Panther films was hilarious...

Steve Martin, who I care even less for as an actor was NO match in the role, when he took over the part!
However, this trailer is funny...
