The old "Getting Married" trick!

  • Apr 21
  • 1 min read

Secret Agents seldom get past the tension-building flirtatious phase on screen, but Agents 86 and 99 broke the tradition in the fourth season of Get Smart (this might have had something to with falling ratings). Have you ever wondered how that relationship would work out in the long run? Could Australia’s Lizard Island Resort play a role in restoring marital harmony (just don’t trust the cruise ship…)?


Whatever Mr and Mrs Smart and their family get up to, the memorable theme music was written by a musician who went from child prodigy-pianist to highly sought-after big band arranger during the reign of Benny Goodman, but failed to build a career as a composer. Irving Szathmary made the first recording of his "Get Smart" theme music using a 16-piece jazz ensemble. It makes a perfect base to appreciate this "Bond meets Clouseau" spy spoof classic of the 1960's.


By the way, did you hear that our upcoming show "Shaken Not Stirred"was fully booked out within four days of ticket release? Sorry if you missed out...but don't fret, because we will be taking the full show to the Yorke Peninsula in August! Follow our blog closely for details.
