paperback. Condition: Very Good. DETAILS: PAPERBACK, very good, covers slightly curled outwards, minor wet finger imprints at lower corner of first few pages, quite minor. COMITO, TERRY, ed. . Touch of evil: Orson Welles, director. New Brunswick, N.J.: Rutgers University Press, 1985, viii, 280pp., . Series: Rutgers films in print ; v. 3 Comito's introduction considers the film's relation to the tradition of film noir and demonstrates how Welles's mastery of cinematic language transforms the materials of a routine thriller into a work that is at once a sardonic examination of the dark side of sexuality, an elegiac rumination on the loss of innocence, and a disquieting assault on the viewer's own moral and ascetic certainties. Other contextual materials in the book include a biographical sketch of Welles; an important interview with Welles by Andre Bazin, Charles Bitsch, and Jean Domarchi, available here for the first time in English; an interview with Charlton Heston on the making of the film; representative reviews; critical essays by William Johnson, Jean Collett (translated especially for this book), Stephen Heath; an analysis of the relation of the complete film to Welles's recently discovered shooting script; and filmography and bibliography. The continuity script collates the two available versions of Touch of Evil and provides an invaluable, shot-by-shot guide through the visual and audio complexities of Welles's masterpiece. - CONTENTS: Introd.
