Touch of Evil (21-May-1958)
Director: Orson Welles Writer: Orson Welles From novel: Badge of Evil by Whit Masterson Music: Henry Mancini Producer: Albert Zugsmith Keywords: Crime, Film Noir, Bad Cops, Motorcycle Gang, Mexico, Marijuana, Explosions A car bomb kills businessman Rudy Linneker in the border town of Los Robles, after it crosses to the American side. An American police captain must cooperate with his Mexican counterpart, not without tensions; the Grandi crime family, likely culprits to the bombing, apply pressure to stop investigations. Beautiful camerawork and lighting, somewhat muddled plot. Opening sequence is absolute brilliance. Entered 1993 into the National Film Registry.
