Crime television is our scheme, as vintage police and private dicks roam about. Henry Mancini's work for Peter Gunn and Nelson Riddle's The Untouchables provide the bulk of the show. I have to do dip my toes into the televisual well more often, but those soundtracks tend to be fewer. Still, I'm building a repository, so expect more shows to jump around like this shortly.
