Touch of Evil

It was difficult to find a suitable picture for this movie. No still frame could really hope to convey the sheer seediness of the visuals. Things have to move and slither for that.

What's most interesting in the pictures I did find was that Orson Welles overwhelms every shot he is in. His enormous, corpulent physique is probably the most memorable aspect of the film.

It's the opening shot, where Heston and his blonde girlfriend cross over into Mexico, into lawlessness as the film would have it, that sets the tone. That and the car bomb.
