Touch of Evil - 8/10
Orson Wells is outstanding as a menacing, shady, border-town cop. Cinematography is nice also, stark high-contrast black & white. A very hot Janet Leigh, complete with torpedo bras and satin lingerie. Charlton Heston as Wells' moral nemesis. The acting is a little hokey and bombastic, but overall enjoyable. See it if only for Wells' performance - he owns the film.
