Touch of Evil 1958 - Last Classic Noir ?

                                 
                             Often described as the last movie made in the period of Classic Noir. Some might argue that 'Odds against Tommorow' made in 1959 should get that accolade but no-one can deny it's superb 'baroque' look and some legendary performances such as the Director Welles as corrupt sheriff Hank Quinlan and other cameo roles including Marlene Dietrich as local gypsy fortune teller.
