The incidental music during scenes such as this opening robbery is an unfortunate omission off the soundtrack album, which is largely loungey party music. I'm not sure if there are any expanded soundtrack releases out there.
That cartoon series meant that as a kid I got to listen to the Mancini theme once a week at Saturday tea-time till it was indelibly implanted in my brain, back to back with the 'spy style' theme to 'A Shot In The Dark'.
Critics and material I don't need. I haven't changed my act in 53 years.
The moment where Niven sees the 'Kidnap tomorrow' message in his bathroom cabinet reminds me of the scene in FYEO where Moore sees the message on his bathroom mirror. Both set in Cortina of course.

Yeah, one must appreciate the creativity!

Hmm...
The titles are my absolute highlights in all of the PP movies!

Not to my knowledge

That accordeon is magic!

Was Capucine dubbed, too?

Capucine is a lovely looking lady. The inspector did well.
It took me a long time to pronounce "Capucine" correctly! 🤔
Edit- when I was a boy I said "Cappusseene" rather than "Capuchinay"
Capucine looks so 60s in her disguise for the liaison with the fence.
love the globe!

The globe gag is a standout moment, which is also memorably reworked in A Shot in the Dark.
How can a Paris inspector afford Saville Row suits?

...and here is Clouseau!
CORTINA!

From the globe onwards Sellers owns the movie
Enjoyable ski action in this film...although not quite up to Willy Bogner levels of extraordinariness.
David Niven, smoother than snow falling off ice.
I wonder how they managed to set up those fireplaces on those sets!

That instrumental of 'Meglio Stasera' makes such a cool, upbeat soundtrack for the Cortina skiiing.
Some fake snow, the real stuff comes later!

Claudia Cardinale is gorgeous but for me the Princess character is something of a cold fish.
The times when the ladies wore fur hats when skiing.
Or is that Dink‘s mink?

I don't think so.
I am so looking forward to the blanket scene! Cracks me up everytime!

To the extent that Niven's 'gentleman thief' is akin to 007 at certain points, it's Moore's Bond that he's most like.
