Touch of Evil (1958) is an American film noir crime thriller‚ directed by Orson Welles. It may sound like a typical cop movie‚ but Welles for the time period pushed the limits of filmmaking. He takes us out of the 1950s “Ozzie and Harriet” world and puts us right smack into a world that is shockingly dark and twisted.

Our search for this sort of human connection persists despite many peripheral issues which divide us‚ but it is the search itself‚ not the issues‚ which provides

Identify a character in the film that presented both their public and private self  I believe that Anthony is a character that showed both his public and private self throughout the film. He was very opinionated about not liking white people and he did not care about what people thought of it. Anthony was very proud to be an African American and it showed throughout the movie. You also got to see a softer side of him towards the end when he discovered the van full of foreign women and children
