First to recommend

Orson Welles noir movie that was sadly taken away from him and edited into mush. A director's cut has finally been released in 1998 and it is gorgeous and amazing. The 3 minute long opening shot has been imitated in many other movies, but never matched. The black and white film is visually lush and if you can find a way to see it on the big screen, it is definitely worth it.

The legendary film noir that was taken away from the mad misunderstood genius Orson Welles has been restored to his original vision. He was ahead of his time, clearly and now we can watch his masterpiece as he intended. It's hardly Citizen Kane, but worth it not least for the incredible single tracking shot in the opening sequence, seeing Charlton Heston play a Mexican, wondering why Janet Leigh still hadn't learned to stay away from dodgy hotel rooms and the incomparable Marlene Dietrich in a surprising guest appearance.

My favorite Orson Welles film. Check out Charlton Heston playing a Mexican and Janet Leigh's bazooka bra.
