Sunday Times cryptic

[mra1]

Stumped on 2 6D (7,3) One such was Strauss being top man for a waltz moving millions O?E?I?? ?A? and 15ac (7) Gendarme's introduction is flipping hilarious, primarily in "Good Moaning" S???I?G - absolutely no idea - any help from the usual stalwarts will be greatly appreciated!

6d Opening bat (ref Andrew Strauss) - anag 'being top (m)an' (moving m[illions])

15a Sighing (moaning) - 'g(endarme) is' (flipping; back) + 'h(ilarious) in g(ood)'
