Overview

TOUCH OF EVIL (1958)

Our final film could be seen as a forerunner to those popular contemporary TV series featuring Latin American drug wars and powerful cartels. Orson Welles’ dark and sinister thriller is a perfect example of classic noir with the lone investigator having to deal with dangers on all sides in their pursuit of the truth. The gripping storyline, brooding atmosphere and incredible cinematography made Touch of Evil a must for this festival season.

With some of the most iconic examples in the Film Noir genre being produced in Hollywood in the 1940s and 1950s, I’ve chosen three fabulous examples to accompany Granite Noir’s 2022 programme. They might not be the first titles that spring to mind when we think of film noir, but this selection offers us an opportunity to savor fabulous performances, excellent script writing and mesmerizing camera work, all with the irresistible dark touch of noir.
