Touch of Evil is an American crime drama film, written, directed by, and co-starring Orson Welles. The movie was made in 1958. Welles’ role was the oversized, corrupted detective. Welles actually shot the scenes by himself, but they were sloppy and unproffessional so he took them to Universal Studios where professionals edited the scenes. Mr. Welles claimes Universal Studios also took extra filmshots without his knowledge. However Univesal claims they asked for permission to do so but Welles didn’t care.
Opening seen of the film is seen as one of the greatest long shots of the history. In the scene there is a man placing a bomb in a car. He crosses the U.S/Mexico border to the United States’ side and explodes the car.
I recommend this movie to children above 12. There is not much violence but drug abusing and confusing conversations make it too heavy for a little child’s mind.
