Universal Home Entertainment will release a 50th Anniversary Edition of Orson Welles' "Touch of Evil" on DVD this October 7th. The film stars Orson Welles, Charlton Heston, and Janet Leigh.

Extras will include: a "Replication of Orson Welles' Legendary 58-Page Memo to the Studio," a restored version (1 Hour 51 Minutes), the theatrical version (1 Hour 36 Minutes), and a preview version (1 Hour 49 Minutes) of the film, "Audio Commentaries," and featurettes.

Synopsis:
Experience Orson Welles' timeless masterpiece, Touch of Evil, complete and uncut with restored footage for the first time ever! This exceptional film noir portrait of corruption and morally-compromised obsessions stars Welles as Hank Quinlan, a crooked police chief who frames a Mexican youth as part of an intricate criminal plot. Charlton Heston plays an honorable Mexican narcotics investigator who clashes with the bigoted Quinlan after probing into his dark past. A memorable supporting cast including Janet Leigh as Heston's inquisitive wife, Akim Tamiroff as a seedy underworld leader, Zsa Zsa Gabor and Marlene Dietrich as an enigmatic gypsy complete this fascinating drama engulfed in haunting cinematography and a magnificently eerie score by Henry Mancini.
