Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Henry Mancini's cracking soundtrack for Orson Welles' Touch of Evil mixes hysterical big-band mambo with cheesy Pachuco rock'n'roll featuring Plas Johnson and Barney Kessel.

Together with Chico Hamilton's terrific additional music for The Sweet Smell of Success it's the big surprise treat of this labour-of-love 5CD box set, which also collects Ellington's Anatomy of a Murder and another four scores. Being film music, there's also a lot of written-by-the-yard strings.
