I had no idea the song was from that far back. I heard it for the first time in the 80s when Peter Gunn hit the charts in England.

from the wiki:

Peter Gunn was an American private eye television series, starring Craig Stevens as Peter Gunn with Lola Albright as his girlfriend Edie Hart, which aired on NBC from September 22, 1958, to 1960 and on ABC in 1960-1961. The series was created by Blake Edwards, who, on occasion, was also writer and director. Peter Gunn is notable for being the first televised detective program whose character was created for television, instead of adapted from other media.

I’ve been watching “Official Secrets” on dvd. I have to keep taking breaks from the film because its so tense/infuriating. Keira Knightley does her usual great-performance.

Anyway, as I was watching, i thot about Trump voters. I think there are many kinds of Trump voters — some voted for him because they felt ‘left behind.’ Ya know. The working class folks who lost coal-mining jobs, etc. And of course, there’s the various kinds of racists. And there’s the wealthy white Republican folks.

But there was also the folks that just dont trust ‘the swamp’. And they think of the swamp in various ways. One of those ways they think of the swamp is what they call ‘the deep state.’ Ie, the Mega-Global-Elite-something-or-other. It scares them. They dont understand it. But they know its not ‘local’ and its not friendly and it doesnt care about them.

When I watch this movie, depicting a lone woman, taking on the ‘deep state,’ I can picture Trump voters nodding their heads. Anyway, good film.
