The long take that opens Orson Welles’ film noir masterpiece shows the director at his most aggressively brilliant. On honeymoon with his new bride (Janet Leigh) Mexican-born policeman (Charlton Heston) agrees to investigate a bomb explosion. In so doing, he incurs the wrath of a corrupt, bullying local police chief (Welles) with a “perfect” arrest record. From its explosive opening scene to its shadow-laden cinematography, this dissection of good and evil will keep you on the edge of your seat. D: Orson Welles, US, 1958, 95m
