BFI FILM CLASSICS TOUCH OF EVIL - RICHARD DEM...

Orson Welles' classic 1958 noir movie Touch of Evil  the story of a corrupt police chief in a
small town on the Mexican-American border  starring Charlton Heston  Janet Leigh and Marlene
Dietrich  is widely recognised as one of the greatest noir films of Classical Hollywood cinema.
Richard Deming's study of the film considers it as an outstanding example of the noir genre and
explores its complex relationship to its source novel  Badge of Evil by Whit Masterson. He
traces the film's production history  and provides an insightful close analysis of its key
scenes  including its famous opening sequence  a single take in which the camera follows a
booby-trapped car on its journey through city streets and across the border.
