I remember in a film class the professor showed us the two versions of the opening of "Touch of Evil," showing us Welles' version first. I remember how intense it was watching it. Immediately after he showed us this version and I was laughing like a crazy person. Any and all tension was obliterated by the goofy spy music. The differences were jarring. It was actually hilarious.
Much better with Mancini´s music.
The crassest and most evil credits in a film of all time
I was watching TV one Sunday morning in 1972 and this came on...immediately I was hooked. This was the first time I ever saw what might my favorite movie, and it was this sequence that did it. I still prefer it over Welles’ intended version for two reasons: first, the titles emphasize that this is a banal, ordinary street scene...until the 1956 Chrysler convertible unexpectedly explodes. It’s ordinary for the passers-by, that is; they don’t know (as we do) that there’s a bomb. Second, the Mancini theme song is marvelous, but even more so, it’s played again during the crucial murder scene in the sleazy hotel room. Hearing it twice is important.
However, the fact that it is a title sequence takes away from the tension when the Vargas’s are near the car. Because it is a title sequence, the audience knows that they will most likely not get harmed. In the Welles cut, you get the sense that the bomb could go off at any moment, making the scene that much more impactful. Anyway, it’s all subjective, just a little counterpoint
@@georgeportar9813 your right
Wow!!
Slick scence. The music isn't the best fit unfortunately
Good movie .Good music by Mancini! Where was it filmed?
Venice, California.
After watching this opening, I can see why Orson Welles didn't like this music (And titles) for the beginning of this film. The director's cut opening isn't perfect, but I get what he wanted to achieve.
Nah the opening is flawless
This version completely butchers the intent of the long take. The studio had no idea what they were doing.
Don't worry. I improved the opening by playing the Austin Powers theme over it instead.
@@yattibanks Just tried it and it works remarkably well 😄
Ed Miller again my issue is that with the credits on screen it distracts your eye from what Welles wants you to look at
"You folks American citizens?" "I am, yes." "Where were you born, miss?" "Missus!" "Hunh?" "Philadelphia."
Much better with Mancini´s music. In the extended version there is no music nor titles.
