"Orson, your future's all used up..." - By: kenjuro@another.com, 26 Nov 2001
Touch Of Evil is the greatest B-Movie of all time, made for a pitiful $895,000. The score however, is worth much more than that, providing more atmosphere than any of Orson Welles' quirky camera angles. 'Main Title' sets the scene perfectly, with a melody that sounds dangerous, seedy, & corrupt, encapsulating the film as a whole. Playing this with Russel Metty's treasured three-minute tracking shot complemented & enhanced the film, & made way for more musical (and visual) treats. Another favourite is 'Tana's Theme', a honky-tonk piano piece that evokes every shred of emotion from Marlene Dietrich's love for Hank Quinlan.
Fantastic score for a fantastic film.
