Touch of Evil Opening Shot

Here's a scene that's always amazed me- the opening crane shot from Orson Welles' Touch of Evil. As far as tracking shots go, this is one of the best. Enjoy.

I was lucky to see this in Dallas in a theater - iirc they cleaned up the print, perhaps restored the film and re-released it for a limited run.

Awesome film.

It definitely is. I sort of like it more than Kane, although some people think that's blasphemy.
