The scenes with Dietrich and Welles are priceless.
-
One of the all-time great noir masterpieces!
-
Russell Metty's cinematography was flawless,as always!

Seeing Touch of Evil on TCM back in the day is what really got me into classic movies so it is cool to see some more analysis and appreciation for it! Sure, it’s geared a little more towards younger viewers with the Marvel and transformers references but there was some good analysis and will hopefully attract a new audience to the film!

The exact connection between the timer and the length of the shot (3 1/2 minutes) was first noticed by professor John Locke at Concordia University in the mid-1970s. He also suggested that the shadow on the wall behind Heston and Leigh was, in fact, Welles' own. The director "signed" the shot. Furthermore, the rest of the film is not a rapid montage - a very long take where Quinlan plants dynamite, was done to save on the budget, and there is another flamboyant long take filmed in an actual elevator.

One of the Most Brilliant Films Ever Made!!

I'm so glad you're doing videos like this. But seriously, please rethink all the "cool" references. They don't have the effect you want. They beak the video's train of thought and make you seem desperate, and young people never fall for this. Look up the "how do you do, fellow kids" meme. That's what this feels like.

Now I want to see the full movie.

One of my all time favorite films! Isn’t this film considered to be the last film noir movie?
-
Thanks! Welles' numerous "oners" were one of my inspirations when storyboarding my series!
-
The comments about Chuck Heston were inappropriate in the beginning. It’s one of his best performances and he brings a powerful dignity to the film. These new critics fail to see that the greats were stars for a reason, no matter what the part.

one of my 13 all time favorite films

He made masterpieces, and could have made more, had it not been for his own stubbornness and Hollywood politics. He made "Citizen Kane" at RKO and "Touch of Evil" at Universal, but couldn't get a job in Hollywood for many of the 17 years between them. Orson Welles mastered radio in New York in the 30's and movies in the 40's. A one-of-a-kind.

Beyond!!!

I stumbled on this film already in progress on the late night TV movie back in the Seventies, didn’t recognize Welles or Heston! Thought it was brilliant, knew no one who’d ever seen it. Like this and The Third Man more than Citizen Kane!
