Digging Star Wars started celebrating the 100th Birthday of Henry Mancini in December 2023 and now, here we are, on the big day! There's plenty to be happy about - including a new Mancini album later this June!
On our blog, we've had the Top 100 Henry Mancini Films countdown in multiple posts. Our total 100 recap post features a comprehensive video edited by John Dvi-Vardana.
Digging Star Wars hosted a screening of Two for the Road (1967) at The Colonial Theatre in March and will host a screening of The Glenn Miller Story (1954) at The Jimmy Stewart Museum next month.
Our article on Mancini was posted in April's issue of Film Score Monthly Online.
Thanks to Sean for this special Mancini birthday post and nod to Digging Star Wars.
We hope you get to listen and/or watch some Henry Mancini today!
The Henry Mancini 100 was great. It was awesome being a part of it and watching you work on this List the past few years. I'm looking forward to seeing what you chose as your next big Legacy List on DSW and Letterboxd. Movies are great!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Phil. The Mancini 100 celebration isn't over yet. We still have some more tricks up our sleeves. And with summer on our doorstep, we'll start our classic film summer reading challenge posts before you know it.
