Orson Welles: Touch of Evil (1958)
(5 pp) Three minutes into 1958's Touch of Evil,
supposedly only made for the sake of money, it was
clear that Welles couldn't help himself - it was
the longest tracking shot in history, setting up
every element of the brilliant, melancholy film
noir to follow, summing up the genre of which it
was one of the last and greatest examples, and
blurring the boundaries between good and evil, duty
and corruption, longing and loss that this film
would forever define. In this discussion the motif
of 'borders' is examined. Bibliography lists 3
sources.
