Dish of the Day

Just some film musings of a more succinct, spontaneous and sometimes seditious nature:

Tonight on TCM:

My next TCM recommendation for the month is, for many experts, the final film noir released during the classification's classic time period (1940 - 1959), Orson Welles' stylistically assertive Touch of Evil (1958).

I have previously written about how there came to be several different versions of this noir extravaganza especially as it concerns the ingenious opening sequence in Main Title Inspirations No. 2: Touch of Evil. Viewers can compare the introduction's bold visual display to the equally superlative use of sound at this film's conclusion when Touch of Evil airs Tuesday, September 17 at 7 pm PDT.  

TCM's current monthly schedule can be seen by clicking on the above image. To confirm the correct Pacific Daylight (West Coast) showtime information, subtract 3 hours from the Eastern Daylight (East Coast) showtime listed on TCM’s schedule.

All responses are not only welcomed but encouraged in the comments section below.

Hope to see you tomorrow.
