Touch Of Evil

 

Charlton Heston, Orson Welles, Janet Leigh, Marlene Dietrich
Universal Pictures; Directed by Orson Welles
Black and White; Not Rated; 108 minutes; 1958

  
A narcotics officer (Charlton Heston) and his bride (Janet Leigh) fall under the spell of a corrupt sheriff (Orson Welles) in a seedy Mexican-American border town. The conflicts of ethics and morality between the narcotics officer and the sheriff set the stage for a most perverse confrontation of good and evil and conscience and corruption in Orson Welles’ sleazy end piece of the film noir movement.
