Mostly Monsters, Murders and Mysteries < Prev - Next > His first major score of darkly dramatic music was Touch of Evil (1958), with Orson Welles as a vicious policeman. Later came Experiment in Terror (1962), Wait Until Dark (1967) and The Night Visitor (1972). Fear(1990) is of like nature, with Ally Sheedy as a psychic employed by the police to track a killer, thereby placing her own life in peril. The film ends in an amusement park and Mancini's scoring sets the menace amid the calliope-like rhythms of a carousel.
Burt Reynolds was The Man Who Loved Women (1983), fatally so, and Julie Andrews was the psychiatrist who gave his eulogy, which included an inference that the amorous nature of a male begins early and that men like this remain "Little Boys" when dealing with the ladies. It was up to Mancini to underline that piquant viewpoint. - TONY THOMAS Photograph:
