Touch Of Evil - Official Trailer

Orson Welles’ brooding noir masterpiece returns to Cineworld screens.

Miguel ‘Mike’ Vargas (Charlton Heston) is a narcotics official operating on the US/Mexican border. When a Mexican bomb blows up a car on American soil, killing all of the occupants, Mike takes up the investigation. As he delves deeper, he soon comes up against threatening Captain Hank Quinlan (Orson Welles), and soon both Mike and his girlfriend Susie’s (Janet Leigh) lives are in jeopardy.

Touch of Evil is widely regarded as one of the finest film noirs ever made, and one of the greatest films of the esteemed Wells’ career. Drawing audiences into a dark world where nothing is as it seems, the Citizen Kane director utilises jaw-dropping filmmaking techniques including the famous three-minute opening tracking shot and a frantic jazzy score by Henry Mancini. The re-release of the movie marks the Orson Wells centenary, and the film looks better than ever thanks to a 2013 re-mastered print overseen by editor Walter Murch.
