Starring Charlton Heston, Janet Leigh, Orson Welles. Directed by Orson Welles.
(1958, 111mins., B&W, Universal Pictures. Pre-dates the rating system, but may be unsuitable for children.)

Baroque crime drama, character study, with a touch of tongue-in-cheek humor thrown in, highlighted by dazzling photography and great acting. Heston is a Mexican law enforcement officer who, on his honeymoon, tangles with the corrupt Police Chief of an American border town, played by Welles in one of the most memorable of his many memorable screen roles.

The Loew's Jersey is proud to present the premiere screening of this new print of Touch of Evil, which was taken from the 1998 negative. In addition to being as faithful as possible to Welles' ideas, this print also boasts beautifully restored, razor-sharp black-and-white cinematography.
