Still, before going to the movies, let’s briefly review where Ethan Hunt came from and the rest of the members of the IMF (IMF), that is, the Mission Impossible Force. Here it is.
Mission Impossible on TV
It was in the year 1966 when the American network CBS turned on the light bulb to create a series that, clearly influenced by the success of James Bond four years earlier, would enable the free world to combat threats from behind the Iron Curtain. The Cold War made its way onto the small screen thanks to a cast of characters led by some of the best actors of that time: from Peter Graves in the role of the boss, to Greg Morris in the technical part or the mythical Martin Landau in the role of what they called Actor, that is, one of those responsible for impersonating other people to get closer to the objectives.
Neither could the concrete role of beauty, of femme fatale destined to seduce whoever gets in front of her and that, in this case, she was also part of the IMF: Barbara Bain would fulfill her role to perfection in the same way that Peter Lupus took over as the strongman, the member of the team who can break bones if necessary.
In any case, if the series was remembered for something, it is for the great intro of all its chapters and, above all, for the extraordinary musical theme composed by the Argentinian Lalo Schifrin, which Tom Cruise respected for being one of the best-known Hollywood melodies of the last 60 years. Here below you have the chords of that wonder that few can resist when they listen to it for the umpteenth time. What are you humming to?
The way of Mission Impossible on television was somewhat strange because, although he lived through a very clear first period between 1966 and 1973, then a few more seasons were added that were not strictly official, that is, made by the original team. The cast changed in many cases, Martin Landau and Barbara Bain did not return to their roles and little by little that attempt to revive it lost steam until it ended practically without making a sound. Furthermore, in the case of the two seasons of the 1980s, production did not take place in the USA but in Australia, with Peter Graves in the lead role of the boss and even Leonard Nimoy playing Paris.
The protagonists of Mission Impossible
