TOUCH OF EVIL

by Orson Welles (USA, 1958, 1h35)

starring Charlton Heston, Orson Welles, Janet Leigh, Marlene Dietrich

A car bomb explodes in a small town on the Mexico-United States border, killing a businessman and his mistress. Mike Vargas, a honeymooning Mexican law enforcement officer, leads the inquiry together with the local police chief, Hank Quinlan. But the two men's methods are poles apart and their collaboration soon turns into confrontation.
