I saw "Le Derriere" for the second time, this time on Belgian television, and I enjoyed it as much as I did when it was released in 1999.
It is really amazing to see that the last movie where the composer Henry Mancini is credited after his death is a French one. I don't know how they had this idea of using Mancini music to score this movie. But I find this a brilliant idea. Actually the theme is even better used in this movie than in the original Blake Edwards' movie.
Just a small remark: to my opinion there is a mistake in the end credits: the Mancini theme does not come from the 3rd movement of the "Beaver Valley Suite'37" (Sons of Italy) but more simply from one of the Pink Panther movies(the Inspector Clouseau theme).
