As part of a collection of forgotten films starring Jack Lemmon, Good Neighbor Sam has finally been released. It's a very funny movie, one of the most memorable aspects of which is the theme by Frank DeVol that appears every 15 minutes:



One reason that the underrated Nickelodeon cartoon series "The Angry Beavers" has such a huge place in my heart is Charlie Brissette's underscoring, which would routinely quote film music and various songs. The episode "Dag's List" opened with a battered Daggett stomping through the forest and muttering angrily (as is his wont). Brissette's take-off of DeVol's music made for a nice counterpoint, and I'm willing to wager that, in addition to the viewers at home, there may have been show staffers who missed the reference. One more delightful aspect of a hilarious episode.
