Action:

- Smartly dressed men and women holding suitcases and hand bags appear from all angles of the screen

- Many aeroplanes also feature in the sequence

- One can infer that the people are at an airport as an animated control tower is also shown

- Mysterious suited man changes into pilot or air-host

- The use of the xylophone for sound creates a sense of suspicion due to the pause between each hit .

- Music constructed using very similar instruments as  the 'Pink Panther', a notorious detective film could suggest similarities in Catch Me if You Can.

- Another man appears he is dressed in a smart suit with a hat similar to that of the stereotypical detective's. The hat could suggest that he is hiding from something.

- This man is looking around taking in his surroundings, suggests he is very perceptive just like a detective.

- The man in the hat follows the pilot. This suggests the rest of the film will be centred around these men.

- The rest of the title sequence shows the detective man following the pilot around.
