Touch of Evil

Touch of Evil (1958) is considered one of the last examples of film noir in the genre's classic era (from the early 1940's until the late 1950's).  It was directed by Orson Welles, who appears as a corrupt U.S. police captain.  The black-and-white film also features Charlton Heston as a Mexican, Janet Leigh ("at her most perversely innocent" as one critic put it) as his bride, and Marlene Dietrich as a cigar-smoking gypsy brothel owner.  The screenplay, loosely based on the novel Badge of Evil by Whit Masterson (a pseudonym for Robert Wade and William Miller), was written by Welles.  Additional scenes were written by Paul Monash, and Franklin Coen.

The showing of this movie will take place at the basin (SE corner of Quincy Street NE & 22nd Avenue NE) on September 4, 2007, at dusk.  Come early and enjoy the band.  

Grilled brats & dogs will be available.  Donations for the grilled brats and dogs are accepted and passed along to the Holland Neighborhood Improvement Association for the Jackson Square Commemorative Backstop Fundraiser.

"One's destination is never a place but rather a new way of looking at things." -Henry Miller........ "If you would not be forgotten, as soon as you are dead and rotten, either write things worth reading, or do things worth the writing." -Benjamin Franklin........ "I disregard the proportions, the measures, the tempo of the ordinary world. I refuse to live in the ordinary world as ordinary women. To enter ordinary relationships. I want ecstasy. I am a neurotic -- in the sense that I live in my world. I will not adjust myself to the world. I am adjusted to myself." - Anais Nin...... "A sailor travels to many lands/Any place he please/And he always remembers to wash his hands/So's he don't gets no diseases." -Captain Carl (phil hartman/pee wees playhouse)...... "I knew Jimi (Hendrix) and I think that the best thing you could say about Jimi was: there was a person who shouldn't use drugs." -frank zappa.......
