From the Paper:

"The music in "A Touch of Evil" was written by none other than Henry Mancini. According to Nowell-Smith (1997), "The fate of jazz as film music strongly resembles that of classical music: it was taken over by established film composers like Henry Mancini, Lalo Schifrin, Dave Grusin, John Barry, and Michel Legrand, who took elements of its basic language and integrated them into a 'mod' style tailored to the flow of the film" (p. 563). The film is set in a fictional Mexican border town, "Los Robles" (described on a billboard at the edge of town as the "Paris of the Border" (Case, 1996); however, it was actually filmed in Venice, California because the place looked "convincingly run-down and decayed" (Plot Summary, 3)."
