Mancini created the theme with Johnson’s sound specifically in mind.
In the credits, the theme is played seductively by tenor saxophonist Plas Johnson, a studio session musician with whom Mancini had worked frequently. Mancini wrote the film’s slinky main theme to accompany the animated opening credits created by Friz Freling. Mancini had a particularly close working relationship with director Blake Edwards, and in 1963 he scored Edwards’s outrageous comedy The Pink Panther, which introduced the character of bumbling Inspector Closeau, unforgettably played by Peter Sellars. He worked at a phenomenal rate, completing more than a dozen film scores a year through most of the 1950s and 1960s, often in his distinctive jazz-influenced style. Mancini had a parallel career as a film and television composer, becoming a staff composer at Universal Studios in 1952. He became one of the sought-after arrangers in America, and created arrangements for popular singers, but also for his own series of successful recordings, which made effective use of the new long-playing record format. Also a talented arranger, he started his career writing for big bands. Though Henry Mancini studied briefly at Juilliard, this thoroughly successful composer was largely self-trained.
