(the following is full of spoilers, but I'll try to make them
as vague as I can)
The theme was all over television in the Sixties.
Alfred Hitchcock Hour used it in the really creepy episode
"The Open Window." I believe a Wild, Wild West used it, too.
One of the Connery Bond movies opened up with the spy
slugging a beautiful Eurasian woman who turns out to be a
guy. The Peter Gunn movie, Gunn No. 1, used it in a way that
really ripped off the Mick. I think the gimmick may have
originated with the Christine Jorgensen sex-change story that
got a tremendous amount of press in the 50s.
