Hmm - is it a very early Horner score?
Maybe that too, but not the one I was thinking of. Hint - if you say the title in front of your wife, she'll be none too happy.

Sorry about the Horner joke - I just wanted to belong...
Now, the title. Mrs TG wouldn't be happy to hear it, eh? Let me guess:
"Where's my tea, bee-atch?"
"Your sister looks hot in that"
"Come on, it's only a bit of fun"
"Football's on the telly again tonight"
"Umm, ahem, no, I haven't seen your Bravissimo catalogue"
Are any of these 1950s horror films? I'm afraid it's not really my bag, baby.

Good titles TG... I'm not sure if Mrs TG would be more offended by her missing lingerie catalogue than by overhearing you say the title of the film in question to one of your mates...
Another hint - A Paramount low-budgeter, made during a musicians' strike. They re-recorded parts of previous scores owned by the studio's publishing companies.

Good ol' Bruce released this some time ago, folks:
I MARRIED A MONSTER FROM OUTER SPACE
Such a quintessentially 50s B-movie title.
Bravo my friend! You should get the Daily Double...
And excellent question Mr. Watts...
And thanks Mr. Dan for this quite amusing AND non-controversial thread.

Good to see some more of us getting into the spirit of things!
Here's a medium-hard one (best that can be expected from a man of my age, said Mrs GSW after she overheard me mentioning the previous film) -
Which Hammer film starring Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee had lyrics written for it by Mr Lee himself using a semi-invented language to the tune of James Bernard's score, was actually rehearsed by James Bernard and Christopher Lee, but was finally ditched when shooting fell behind schedule?
Don't know if that's very grammatically coherent, but it's Friday.

Stumped. Hint?

Hint about mine - Neither Lee nor Cushing was the real star of the film. The star was a beautiful actress, and it wasn't a horror film as such, more a fantasy adventure. I think I've made it too easy for you now.
Dan's talking about.................................................................... don't know....................................
Xavier Cugat?
