Touch of Evil
"Touch of Evil" is as powerful a film as ever. More than fifty years after its original release, and more than a decade after the restoration of Orson Welles' directions, the bravura of this brooding story about rape, racism, corruption, and the US-Mexican drug trade continues to astound and shock. Starring Janet Leigh, Charlton Heston, Marlene Dietrich, and Zsa Zsa Gabor, and featuring the most suspenseful opening shot in film history, Welles' final Hollywood film is the last great statement in film noir. This book chronicles the efforts to reassemble a lost masterpiece and analyzes the enduring cult appeal of a film that has influenced generations of filmmakers.
