ok, ppl…
there was an old series loosely based on the Matt Helm movie series called Matt Helm, Private Detective. It starred Tony Franciosa. I remember how the theme sounded and i am convinced it was a John Williams composition. Am i wrong?
Yes, you are wrong. Morton Stevens was the composer. He is most famous for the theme to Hawaii Five-0
blondebear,
many thanks for the correction. I enjoyed reading the column on Stevens
Hey, we both learned something! Your question got me curious, and I ended up finding that page after a little bit of searching. I liked the description of him as being “…among the hippest TV theme writers of that pre-Mike Post era.”
