GOOGLE DOODLE 'N' ALL THAT JAZZ

Yesterday, May 8th, Google made an outstanding Google Doodle.  It is a tribute to a man in the film industry who make the bit of the movie which takes to do with the titles at the beginning of the film. His name is  Saul Bass. He is 93 years old.



This short video creates the Google logo in the style of of Bass using the following movies'  introductory title sequences:

Psycho
The Man with the Golden Arm
Spartacus
West Side Story
Vertigo
North by Northwest
Anatomy of a Murder
Ocean's 11
Around the World in Eighty Days

As you watch the Google Doodle you will recognise the film artwork as they are done in the order above.

I can't decide if I like the film references  (I can recognize them all!) or the theme music which is Dave Brubeck's Unsquare Dance.

Love it!
