This film holds a special place in my heart - perhaps due to the fact that it ran constantly for months on HBO when it was a newborn movie channel on early cable. Or the cornball situation of the Neil Simon written script.
And - the terrific score by Dave Grusin. I love the main melody - the music that begins over the opening credits (drawings by Charles Addams!).
Has there ever been a legit release of this score? Any hopes of there being one for CD?
So many truly cool old timers having a glorious time - I particularly love Nancy Walker's 'Yetta' and Alec Guiness' 'Jamesir Bensonmum'...inspired acting!
Anyone else find this film a guilty pleasure?

I'm also a big fan of the main title for this film -- has it appeared on dvd? I used to own it on an RCA videodisc (!)

This is another one of the GREAT comedy scores of the '70s with an addictive main title. It needs a release!

Great score; Columbia, not a chance in hell.
GODZILLA and BAD BOYS were Columbia releases.

It's been a while since anyone posted on this thread, but I belatedly wanted to cast my vote for this great comedy score as well. It's discouraging to hear the "not a chance in hell" remark, but so many doors are opening that I think they will be building snowmen down there soon enough. My fingers are crossed.

I saw this movie when I was 5 in '76, and believe it or not, I laughed my ass off and continued to do so through every subsequent viewing over the years. It's still a classic comedy full of GREAT performances, clever dialogue and a wonderful main theme. And the best line from the film:
"Where's my dickie?!!"

My personal favorite line is when Peter Falk throws away the retort, "I don't know, why don't you ask the Moose on the wall, it's been watching us all evening." For some reason, when I first watched the movie at 10 or 11 years old that struck me as hilarious and I've loved it ever since.

This is a very fun score; the film itself is a breezy treat.
There are a few hysterical additional scenes that I've seen on television airings, in particular one at the end.

And later on the moose says something like, "Say your goddamn pronouns!"

Great score, and sharp little film, makes me roll up.
especially the bit where Miss Marble is sharing a room with her old nurse and theyre in the big four poster bed and the detective sniffs and says:
"Poisonous Gas!"
and the old girl says: "Well I cant help it, I'm old!"
the best Sellars line as Sydney Wang was:
"Irriot, not let me finish mushroom story!"
