After several tries I finally got through "Touch of Evil." [View all]
Biggest hurdle I had was believing Charlton Heston in the role of Vargas. But get past that and ... WOW!
I think Orson Welles and Russell Metty (DP) stole some angles from John Huston's The Maltese Falcon, especially the way Welles' girth filled up the screen as menacingly as Sidney Greenstreet's. If there was a director that employed this trick prior to 1941, I'm all ears.
