The 60s just had the best title music and sequences

[@lilybond6485]

Best clothes, best cars, best movies, best music, best food, best everything. God -- if there is a God - please take me back.

[@robynrodriguez6237]

I agree with you in every way you just listed.

[@henrynegro8397]

Don’t forget the 50s too. North by northwest had an amazing soundtrack

[@TheElainelennon]

An absolutely wonderful film in every way. Dorleac was ravishing. Her loss was tragic.

[@LeighRichards27]

Maurice Binder was the master of movie opening title sequences.

[@MarkFoster321789]

And Saul Bass! Two gifted geniuses of their craft.

He did all those BOND movies.

Richard Rodney Bennet wrote some of the finest music in films as well as jazz and classical works. A prolific and multitalented composer from the UK, he moved to the USA in the late 70s and passed away in 2012.

[@lilybond6485]

I remember seeing this for the first time in the 60s and thought the opening was so cool. The Sound Tract also soooo cool. Almost everything about the 60s was “mood altering” and you didn’t have to do drugs to feel it. It started with The Beatles and the train just kept going from there. I’d give anything to go back.

[@56postoffice]

The most James Bond-sy of the three Harry Palmer films. The music in all three is fantastic.

[@extendedvibe5351]

Sounds like a lost James Bond Theme and i love it. Saw it on The Grand Tour with Clarkson in the Mountains

[@UBZUKki]

Absolutely stunning piano led theme..... Beautiful

[@philipthomas6808]

I absolutely love this movie; I remember seeing this when I was a kid on TV back in the summer of 1976 with one of my best friends and it seemed like it was ABC that showed it on like their Thursday night at the Movies series?

[@philipthomas6808]

@lucy bond Yeah, haha I have bought it as well on DVD a few years ago on Ebay, but more recently This TV aired it on April 11, 2018 and I recorded it with my DVR...

[@FluWorldOrder]

I would love to find someone doing this on a piano. Thank you for posting this underrated tune called PANIC IN THE BRAIN.

[@andyhowlett2231]

I think this film is the weakest of the three, but the music is so grand and dramatic I love it! I once met a CEO of Honeywell at a concert and he was a great bloke.

[@FormerlyNYVulgarian]

This theme is amazing 👏

[@kylebrown-harris3203]

Bbymutha- stop and Dom Kennedy- we ball both sampled this. The Piano is so beautiful

[@ANDYSHENTON]

When I saw "Billion Dollar Brain" on the BBC - back in 1983, I think - 'A Hard Day's Night' was playing in one scene. I've never seen that particular scene again & no-one I've spoken to remembers seeing it - but I'm certain it was there!

[@Mahoromatic]

They took it out of the DVD because it would be too expensive to license. I mean this is basically a b-movie so I get it

[@vurucutim8280]

Still wacth the film I enjoy every time

[@RossCompose]

One of the best EVER! Love Sir Richard's film music.

Ross: your business is dead Palmer

[@beargunn7820]

Yes indeed, Wow! Quite right, folks, "Billion Dollar Brain" was one of three Michael Caine movies where he starred as reluctant MI5 agent Harry Palmer. It was the third and final installment of the three, in 1967. The first was "The Ipcress File", followed by "Funeral In Berlin" and then "Billion Dollar Brain". This one, "Billion Dollar Brain" is my personal favorite. The theme score is exceptionally good, IMO. I'd once read that Caine got to name his character for this series. It was requested that he come up with the most dull and uninspiring name he could think of; that was to tongue-in-cheek counter the then-hugely popular James Bond. So it's reported that Caine came up with Palmer since a kid he knew in grammar school by that name was the most boring person he ever knew. And he thought Harry was a very boring first name - somewhat to his chagrin when he learned the movie's Producer was to be the great 007 movie co-Producer Harry Saltzman. LOL!!

[@lilybond6485]

Great comment. Interesting information.

[@dojoguitare]

Gorgeous music

[@lilybond6485]

Yes !

Even today I can never think of Helsinki / Finland without the gorgeous images and music ( Anya's theme ? ) coming to mind.

[@jeffreylawrence6928]

Maurice binder definitely gave Saul Bass a run for his money with this one…

[@lilybond6485]

Now how could they do this opening scene with an IPad instead of the humongous computers of the day ? Just a thought.

[@LukeKendall-author]

I couldn't help wondering why they put eighteen zeros in the billion figure.

[@OldDogNewTrick]

I was working with the computers depicted here back in 1966. Did not consider them very 'brainy' but rather just fast adding machines. Today (June 2024) AI - artificial intelligence is all over everywhere, and meets the billion dollar threshold for full implementation.

You ain't seen nothing yet! In a few years it'll all be AI...

[@sandyr5999]

Wow!!

[@gabrielatienza4029]

Michael Caine's Harry Palmer was three movies...One is IPCRESS File

Funeral in Berlin the other - and there was one other written by Len Deighton but they never filmed that - Horse under water....en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horse_Under_Water

[@deepred6502]

Does anyone know what typeface was used for this sequence? Or was it a bespoke type used only for the film?

[@terrancebigham6765]

At his best, Maurice Binder rivaled Saul Bass.

why is the name 'eva monley' in lowercase lettering when all others are in uppercase???
