A special 50th Anniversay 2-DVD set of Orson Welles’ film noir, Touch of Evil (1958), to be released by Universal on October 7, will include in three versions of the movie, which most noir pundits agree marks the end of the classic film noir cycle: theatrical, preview and restored based on Welles’ original vision, and a copy of the 58-page memo Welles wrote to the studio before the film’s release asking for his original-cut re to be restored, after it had been butchered by studio hacks. The request fell on deaf ears.
