Touch of Evil


I saw a beautiful print of Orson Welles' classic "Touch of Evil" at the Walter Reade Theater at Lincoln Center last night. The opening shot is about a 5 minute take and it's one of the best things I've ever seen on screen. I would love to go back in time and watch them film that shot. I can only imagine how much work and how many people it takes to pull off a complex shot like that.

Okay, back to work on my script.
