This baroque nightmare of a south-of-the-border mystery is considered to be one of the great movies of Orson Welles, who both directed and starred in it. After witnessing a murder in a border town, Mexican narcotics officer Mike Vargas (Charlton Heston) commences an investigation revealing that an American cop, Hank Quinlan (Orson Welles), is planting evidence in the investigation. Vargas and his wife become the new targets of Quinlan and the border town’s gang. Touch of Evil, Welles’ last Hollywood picture, contains drugs, racism, murder, rape, and corrupt law officials. Nothing is left untouched in this 1950s classic film noir.
