The opening titles are accompanied by an instrumental written by composer John Powell. The theme song was performed by Matt Monro. Classic.

Wrong !The music was scored and arranged by Quincy Jones and lyrics by Don Black. You must go to the back of the class !

Speaking of Matt Monro, did you know that he was the proud owner of a 550 Spyder ? Anyway, if you like his singing, pick up this one. Great arranging by Johnny Spence, who was widely considered as being the Nelson Riddle of the UK.
