For Throwback Thursday I thought we’d do a little cool midcentury jazz, the iconic theme song from NBC’s 1958 Peter Gunn series.
You probably remember it, Craig Stevens played a suave, debonair private eye. From Wiki:
Peter Gunn is a sophisticate with expensive tastes…Gunn has a reputation for integrity and being among the best investigators; He has many reliable informants and is extremely well-connected. His reputation is so good, the police occasionally ask him for help or advice.
Wow! What a sterling character! No wonder James Comey channeled him as he went about crafting his own equally fictitious reputation. Either that or they are twin sons of different mothers.
I think we can all agree on which one is the evil twin.
I’m attending a funeral today across state so do behave.

I always felt that Craig Stevens as Peter Gunn was TVs version of Cary Grant. Sometimes, when I watch a rerun of an episode, I forget which one I’m watching.
I has the hots for all 4 of them ... together ...
I was particularly struck by the bar "set". Every set was a bare bones minimum of items because (imo) the "movie" was the writing and the story, not a bunch of trappings.
Something modern cinematography has left behind.
