Title: Across the Border
Product review: Touch of Evil is a film set at the border between the United States and Mexico, the site of an explosion that took two lives. There are cops from both countries investigating including a Mexican newlywed (Charlton Heston) and a crooked American veteran (Orson Welles). This is no romantic easy case, though; it is twisted in lies and deciet.The film has a nice cast including the aforementioned Heston and Welles along with Janet Leigh and Marlene Dietrich.The camera angles used here are highly unusual and artistic, a typical element of Welles films. In fact, this is perhaps what keeps the film exciting despite its somewhat confusing plot. Thankfully, the camera never becomes distracting or showy for the sake of being showy. It enhances the film greatly.
