    • Trivia
      The pianist who played the well known piano portion of the "Peter Gunn Theme" was future film composer John Williams. Henry Mancini later said that whenever he heard John Williams' name, he would immediately think of the "Peter Gunn Theme" before any of the other iconic music that Williams wrote.

    Noir In Small Segments
    Are you a fan of 1940s film noir? If so, check out this Peter Gunn compilation. You'll find a lot of the same type of snappy dialogue and great black & white cinematography complete with shadows and interesting camera angles. Also featured are interesting stories, a "cool" (or "crazy" as the expression of the time period was) lead character in Craig Stevens and an absolutely dead-gorgeous blonde in Lola Albright.

    True, you can't develop character studies or much of an intricate plot in 25- minute stories, but if you just "dig" the atmosphere, you'll find a real sleeper of a DVD series here. Wonderful stuff for film noir buffs.
