Name That Tune

In the internet cafe a few days ago they were playing this acid jazz with a riff taken from an old movie slightly speeded up, but I can't quite pin down which movie... something from the late 50s or early 60s I'm pretty sure, with this kind of poignant, idealistic, therapeutic vibe, a socially progressive sensibility which I associate with movies like The Manchurian Candidate and Rebel Without a Cause, but this is not from either of those... probably from something a little more blockbuster and family, less tragic, but still high-grade. Too bad you can't google a tune in, somebody has to invent that, and soon I hope.
The tune goes something like this
C G E flat __
C G E flat __
C D E flat C E flat F F G
E flat A flat G __
E flat A flat G __ ...
Anybody know?

UPDATE: I'm pretty sure it's a "love theme" actually.
