Title: Touch of Evil, One of Welles' Many Hidden Masterpieces
Product review: This is one of the greatest things that I have seen happen in a long time. Almost all of Welles movies (Citizen Kane being about the only one) had been cut down by studio heads. Magnificent Ambersons being the greatest example as it was cut down by 40 minutes and an entirely new ending was filmed. The footage was then burned. Fortunately all of the footage that was cut out of Touch of Evil was kept. And finally a few good men have decide to peace together the one of the greatest film noir pieces. The greatest part of the restoration comes at the beginning with the restored car scene. There are no credits and none of that annoying music. It is what Welles wanted it to be a true walk down the street. I believe also a documentary comes with it which is also very interesting. If you loved Kane there is no way to shun this work.
