The scenes with Dietrich and Welles are priceless.

The exact connection between the timer and the length of the shot (3 1/2 minutes) was first noticed by professor John Locke at Concordia University in the mid-1970s. He also suggested that the shadow on the wall behind Heston and Leigh was, in fact, Welles' own. The director "signed" the shot. Furthermore, the rest of the film is not a rapid montage - a very long take where Quinlan plants dynamite, was done to save on the budget, and there is another flamboyant long take filmed in an actual elevator.

Seeing Touch of Evil on TCM back in the day is what really got me into classic movies so it is cool to see some more analysis and appreciation for it! Sure, it’s geared a little more towards younger viewers with the Marvel and transformers references but there was some good analysis and will hopefully attract a new audience to the film!

Thanks! Welles' numerous "oners" were one of my inspirations when storyboarding my series!

You're an adult, stop saying words like "Raddest". You aren't doing commentary on the Skate Or Die video game.

Just to play devil’s advocate here- if Charleston Heston doesn’t put on an accident or look heavily made-up in brown makeup is he really playing brown face? Or is he doing an above board representation of the white people who currently live in Mexico?

TCM did a lousy job on not showing Murnau's Nosferatu last night on their Silent Sunday Night midnight show.

This year marks the 100th anniversary of Nosferatu, and TCM doesn't do a thing to mark the anniversary. TCM blew it. Badly.

One of my all time favorite films! Isn’t this film considered to be the last film noir movie?

"Extremely white" Charlton Heston-? Take a look at Mexican fighter Canelo Alvarez--he's whiter than Heston ever was.
