Review of Touch of Evil (1958) by Nate W — 09 Sep 2008
The high point of 50's film noir, Orson Welle's "Touch of Evil" was very much ahead of its time. Scenes like the opening tracking shot and Janet Leigh's abduction almost give the film a modern feel, and Welle's transformative performance as a corrupt cop is astonishing.
Russell Metty's dark cinematography is a rich visual feast. This movie is NOT to be missed.
