165. Chimes at Midnight (1966) & Touch of Evil (1958)


Listen Later

This week, we discuss two films starring, written and directed by Orson Welles.

The first is Chimes at Midnight (1966), an historical comedy which follows the rise and fall of Sir John Falstaff, a boisterous yet tragic figure caught between loyalty and political upheaval in Shakespearean England.

The second is Touch of Evil (1958), a noir thriller about corruption and moral decay, as a Mexican detective clashes with a ruthless American police captain while investigating a murder on the U.S.-Mexico border.
