    Question for Pipers, re: Dr. Phibes Rises Again

    What tune is the pipe band playing on the Victrola in the desert scene?? This is not meant to be a trivia quiz b/c I really don't know the answer, but I need to know.

    I'm not familiar with it? Not the tune, the movie (?) and show you're talking about.

    Have a link to a clip?

    This will continue to haunt me, I suppose. I've asked Patrick Regan, Lars Sloan, and Richard Kean. Stu-Gotts.

    Sorry, I still haven't seen the movie. And I'm no good at "name that tune" anyway.

    I'm usually the guy who, when the tune is called, asks, "How does that one go?"

    Well, the movie has become obscure to most these days; so, I'm not disappointed that few are familiar with it or the particular scene.

    Obscure? You gotta be jivin' me, my man! Dr. Phibes is big time stuff in the Argonian household. I managed to find both movies on DVD a while back and my kids glommed onto them and got their friends to watch them...we have a whole little Dr. Phibes cult going on around here. I never thought that these kids would get into the "camp" aspect of the movies but maybe they don't see that the way that us older types do...I think that they appreciate them as just sort of satirical horror movies.

    Sadly, I'm not not qualified to figger out what the name of the tune is in that sequence and I have no idea how to post tha audio or video file (or if, indeed, posting them would be a copyright violation). I'd loveto help, but...

    No idea what the song is but it's a good movie. I prefer the 1st Dr Phibes movie but like both. And "Theatre of Blood". Anybody remember that one? The great Mr. Price as an actor taking revenge on the critics?

    And it has Diana Rigg.

    Caroline Munro was my fave! My buddy piped for her on her entrance into a convention she was hosting in Dallas a couple of years ago.
