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.

    A Noir Classic

    Splendid direction - and acting! - by Orson Welles in the central role, as well as terrific acting by Akim Tamiroff, Joseph Callieia, and others - including a brief but crucial role by Marlene Dietrich. Superb cinematography, and this Blu-Ray copy includes as an extra feature scene-by-scene commentary on the "theatrical version" released in 1958. Welles was disappointed that the studio re-cut that 1958 version, and sent the studio a 58-page critique, which they mostly ignored. But this Blu-Ray copy also includes a 1998 "reconstructed version" that attempts to present the movie as Welles intended it (of course some scenes were no longer extant, unfortunately), and it is fascinating to watch both and compare them.

    This is a classic noir ruined by one actor who will not be named in this review. The picture on the disc is great black and white, the acting is good, although a little off beat for the audiences of the time, but that was the director, his style, his art. In the end, like many of his films, he was right.

    TOUCH OF GENIUS

    Welles is a genius. This set has 3 versions of TOUCH OF EVIL and his 58 page memo when Universal re-cut his film. An absolute must have!

    Masterpiece

    Touch of Evil is a classic. It’s one of the best films of the 1950s. Highly recommended.
