TOUCH OF EVIL (4KUHD) [BLU-RAY]

Details

• Release Year: 1958
• Genre: Crime, Film-Noir, Suspense/Thriller
• Plot: Directed by Hollywood legend Orson Welles (The Lady from Shanghai), Touch of Evil is a film noir masterpiece whose Hollywood backstory is as unforgettable as the movie itself. Starring Charlton Heston (Ben-Hur), Janet Leigh (Psycho) and Welles himself, this dark portrait of corruption and morally compromised obsessions tells the story of a crooked police chief who frames a Mexican youth as part of an intricate criminal plot. With its iconic ticking-bomb opening shot, shadowy cinematography by Russell Metty (Spartacus), evocative score by Henry Mancini (Arabesque) and memorable supporting turns by Akim Tamiroff (The General Died at Dawn), Joseph Calleia (Gilda) and Marlene Dietrich (Desire), Touch of Evil is a stylistic triumph that stands the test of time. This 3-disc special edition features 4K restorations of all three versions of the film.
