About this product

Product Information

Orson Welles's TOUCH OF EVIL is nothing short of a masterpiece. Beginning with a three-minute-plus tracking crane shot, the film explodes onto the screen, literally--the marvelously expressive opening shot ends with a car blowing up, and that detonation sets into motion a classic noir tale of betrayal and murder. In a complex exploration of character and morality, Welles plays the racist Captain Hank Quinlan, a grotesque, troubled, and powerful figure who runs his small U.S. border town according to his own version of the law. Quinlan's brutishness and vulgarity contrast starkly with the idealism and playboy good looks of Charlton Heston as Mike Vargas, a Mexican detective trying to put away the leader of a dangerous family of drug dealers--the Grandis. In the U.S. with his new bride, Susie (Janet Leigh), Vargas becomes consumed with exposing Quinlan and his highly questionable methods--too busy to see that his own beautiful blonde bride is in serious danger from both Quinlan and the Grandis.In 1998, Welles's film was restored closer to its creator's original vision, and it is a joy to behold. Every shot is impeccably crafted, every word of dialogue concise and pointed. The camerawork (by Russell Metty and John Russell) is stunning, particularly in the opening scene and the long single take in which Vargas believes he has caught Quinlan planting evidence. The supporting cast, led by Marlene Dietrich, Dennis Weaver, Akim Tamiroff, and Joseph Calleia, gives exhilarating performances. TOUCH OF EVIL, Welles's last studio film, is a near-perfect examination of the dark underbelly of society and the tragic downfall of a once proud man.

  • Touch of Evil

    This film by Orson Wells is considered one of his best, and if you like movies or if you admire Cinema, you should try to see it. It is loaded with treats (none of the minor characters are in any way minor -- Dennis Weaver, Mercedes McCambridge, Joseph Cotten, ZsaZsa Gabor, an impressive list of Wells' pals who just showed up on very short notice to help make this incredible movie.) Then you get great performances by Akim Tamiroff, Marlene Dietrich, and Orson Wells, and a couple of movie stars, (who, with Mr Wells perfect direction, perform extremely well.) Then the film was crafted more than the usual Wellsian brilliance. I love this Touch of Evil. If you don't -- well, maybe someone should help you with your attention deficit problem. Or maybe it's lousy, and I just can't tell the ...
