'Touch of Evil' is a masterpiece of 20th century cinema: Director Orson Welles' final Hollywood film and regarded as the last great film noir. This searing semi-latin / rock & roll score is considered (both by critics and the composer) to be one of Henry Mancini's finest.
Barney Kessel, who featured on the Beach Boys' 'Pet Sounds' album and many of the Phil Spector and Monkeys' hits, plays guitar throughout the soundtrack, which ranges from swingin' to dark and moody.
'Touch of Evil' is timeless, landmark cinema and music - the personification of cool.
