Review of Touch of Evil (1958) by Kivernitis I — 19 Mar 2008
No question that this is a masterpiece and Orson's performance sticks in the memory. Doesn't have great support like in other noir, but more than makes up for that with a sleazy close to the edge sensibility which must have been greater when released.
Resonates with Othello as Charlton plays a decent upstanding citizen dragged down, allbeit not all the way, by the fiendish Orson.
