Author Topic: Touch of Evil (1958) reconstruction Tao Yue Expert Film Handler Posts: 209 From: Princeton, NJ Registered: Apr 2001 posted 04-07-2004 07:34 PM                        Touch of Evil (1958) -- reconstructed in 1998 to Orson Welles' specifications. Distributor: Universal Classics Arrives Fedex from ICS in Glendale, CA 6 reels FLAT 1.66:1 DTS with SR analog backup, no other digital formats Black-and-white acetate stock The SR is Woody Allen style, center channel only. Noise reduction notwithstanding, soundtrack still sounds lousy, though this is mostly due to the source material. Print #1 is splicy, some perf damage in reel 5, DTS discs (pressed, not burned) badly scratched; could be worse. Looks fairly good on-screen.
