Touch of Evil - 1958 (review)

There is no shortage of Halloween/horror movies for October, nor is there a shortage of Christmas movies for December. But what does one watch during November?? (I mean, aside from Christmas movies, of course...Christmas season - or whatever holiday you celebrate...we are keenly aware of the fact that there are plenty of other holidays celebrated by countless other people of different faiths, beyond Christmas - totally starts as soon as you call it a night for Halloween). Aside from the very few Thanksgiving movies (and all the Christmas movies), November is for film noir!! Inspired by Central Cinema, Eric and I will be doing a couple film noir reviews during the month of November - or, more accurately, Noir-vember!! First up is a masterpiece that infuses iconic film noir stylings with social commentary that is still relevant today, Touch of Evil (which you can totally catch at Central Cinema this week)!!
