Touch of Evil (1958)
Restored to the vision of Orson Welles, and a very dark vision it was.
Bizarre blend of film noir and farce.
Cynical, paranoid, with no happy ending.
Orson Welles is superb as the corrupt policeman.
Marlene Dietrich has the best line of the movie when she tells the corpulent Orson Welles to lay off the candy bars.
Dennis Weaver plays a character who is legally brain dead (in other words, he plays himself).
Janet Leigh plays a character who makes Paris Hilton look like a street smart rocket scientist.
Zsa Zsa Gabor has a cameo.
