"Touch of Evil" is a film directed by Orson Welles that was released in 1958. The score was composed by Henry Mancini for the film. Track number 16.
Plot summary: An automobile is blown up as it crosses the Mexican border into the United States. Mike Vargas (Charlton Heston), a high ranking Mexican narcotics official on honeymoon with his bride Susie (Janet Leigh) is drawn into the investigation because a Mexican national has been accused of the crime. The figurative and physical presence of Hank Quinlan (Orson Welles) as the 330 pound sheriff looms all over. Quinlan is a fanatic where "justice" is concerned, even if obtaining it involves planting evidence. Quinlan's reputation for law and order enables him to bend the law without question until Vargas confronts him. From that point on, it's a battle of wits between the two that, with an accelerating pace, rushes to a climax. (extracted from IMBd.com)

Excellent piece. I love how it starts as music from outside, but becomes the soundtrack for the murder scene.
