Did it have the theme song of the same title?

The theme song was called "Masquerade." It was written for the movie and was sung by Danny Williams, a South African singer, whose style was similar to Johnny Mathis. It's hard to find, but you can occasionally get a copy of the 45 on E-bay. United Artists Records # 860.

Thanks. It was a longtime hit in my country, the Philippines and I think back there it is still played on some radio programs with romantic themes. Actually, Matt Monro was the singer that came to mind when I remembered this song. It has a fine mandolin sequence which still rings in my memory.

The theme song was written especially for the film and was used over the animated opening credits sequence, a sequence similar to that used in the original "The Pink Panther." It was performed by Danny Williams, a South African singer, who had had a top 40 hit the year before with "White on White." It was only released as a 45 rpm record (United Artists 45 # 860) and there was no soundtrack LP of Philip Green's score.

Thanks. Now you got me curious on that other song.
