Yes, Lalo Schifrin, who's been nominated for six Academy Awards, has credits from 1964 ('Rhino!') to the present day ('Money Talks'), established much of the musical vocabulary we associate with urban crime drama with 'Bullitt,' 'Mannix,' 'Starsky and Hutch,' 'Telefon,' and the 'Dirty Harry' films, and has scored films ranging from utter crap ('The Nude Bomb,' 'Caveman,' 'The Cat from Outer Space') to great ('Enter the Dragon,' 'THX 1138,' 'The President's Analyst'), but for some reason only occupies the public mind, if at all, as the composer of the 'Mission: Impossible' theme.
