General Note
Includes three versions of the feature film: Reconstructed version (1998, 111 min) "In 1957, Orson Welles completed principal photography on 'Touch of evil' and edited the first cut. Upon screening the film, the Studio felt it could be improved, shot additional scenes and re-edited it. Welles viewed this new version and within hours wrote passionate 58-page memo requesting editorial changes. This version represents an attempt to honor those requests and make 'Touch of evil' the film Orson Welles envisioned it to be." -- Theatrical version (96 min.) This version was seen by U.S. audiences when it was released in theaters in 1958. -- Preview version (109 min.) Created prior to the theatrical version, this cut of the film incorporates some of Orson Welles' requests and was re-discovered by Universal in 1976..
