Touch of Evil

Under discussion:

Touch of Evil  (1958)

  My favourite Orson Welles movie.. check out Cinema Rian for a detailed review...I always remember this as one of the first films to scare me as a kid..the feeling of forboding is papable from the amazing opening sequence onward..Scary high-point for me, the terrorizing of Janet Leigh ,culminating in an horrific image ...The camerwork is totally groundbreaking..moving car stuff,with on-car cameras ..what must have been incredibly awkward dolly-work..and dynamic low-angles accentuating the domineering ugliness of Quinlan.. soundtrack is stupendous ,a scary soundscape to match the action,and the tragic Marlene Dietrich gets a "pianola" theme tune that will stay with you forever..
