The Argentinian composer has died aged 93. You may not know the name; but you will know the work, he wrote the scores to Mission: Impossible, Cool Hand Luke, Dirty Harry and Enter the Dragon among many many others. RIP

    For anyone who doesn't already knowd the main theme of the Mission Impossible score - duhh duhh da da, duhh duhh da da - is, of course, in Morse Code dash dash dot dot, dash dash dot dot.  

    Dash dash dot dot = "M I".
