Peter Gunn
1958-1961 | Crime | USA | Created by Blake Edwards
Overview
A jazz soaked private eye in a nightclub world, scored by Henry Mancini with a bass line that became a standard covered by the Blues Brothers and countless others. Blake Edwards stylish direction, Craig Stevens cool, Lola Albright singing at Mothers. The visual and aural template for hip detective cool. The theme became a hit single twice over.
