That 1972 film features the first film score of Alan Silvestri. It`s a funky and groovy 70 score which is a lot of fun. Silvestri also wrote the score to one of the sequels THE AMAZING DOBERMANS (1976). Then there was THE DARING DOBERMANS (1973) with a score by Robert O. Ragland and the TV movie ALEX AND THE DOBERMAN GANG (1980) with music by Earle Hagen.
Does anyone know if the master tapes still exist. That would make a cool box set.
Ha! I would probably consider buying that box set. For some reason those films (expecially the first two) hold a nostalgic place in my heart. They were also one of the first DVDs I purchased at Warner Archive. In my neighborhood (West Hollywood) there was a restaurant called SILVER SPOON that closed a couple of years ago. Shelley Winters went there all of the time in the later years, but it was a poster of The Doberman Gang that was hanging on the wall that always got my attention. A waitress once told me that the director of the film used to eat there all the time.
