Dish of the Day

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

Tuesday, April 16, 2024

Today (early morning) 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, April 16 at 6 am PDT.  

TCM's current monthly schedule can be confirmed by clicking on the above image. For those who live in parts of the U.S. other than the western region, the time zone can be adjusted in the upper right-hand corner of TCM's programme.

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

Hope to see you tomorrow.
