touch of evil (podcast review)

Out of the Past has this incredible podcast available on Orson Welles' penultimate film noir, Touch of Evil. As always, Clute and Edwards provide a scholarly analysis of the film, but for once I was sorely disappointed by the length of the piece. A half hour may be great for some films but it seems like there is so much more that can be mined from the film, particularly in terms of theme. Anyway, I highly recommend delving into the Out of the Past archive as there isn't a moment in the series that won't keep you engaged and dying to see more film noir. In particular listen to their comments on It's a Wonderful Life.
