hello..the song (by Akihiro Miwa) is from the film Black Lizard, a japanese film. in charade i think mancini just uses the same musical scale in a particular point .Is perfect though you made this connection. and thanks for the spelling correction....

Oh, I recognized the Pink Martini track, it's the theme from Stanley Donen's "Charade"!!

How could I not love this? Hey, you mispelled Carlos Gardel (and "por una cabeza") ;)
