rson Welles' classic, "Touch of Evil," was never what he wanted it to be. Taken out of his hands for editing, the film's final version earned a 58-page rebuke from Welles. Recently retouched to Welles' 58-page specification, the film is now even more worthy of viewing. We take two looks at the remake in "The Greater of Two Evils" and "Re-Touched."

This weeks Video & TV section is overflowing; a contrasting pair of documentaries (one by Spike Lee), an aborted interview with Jerry Mathers, a review of the fall TV season, a comparison of three classic football movies, musings on Leonardo DiCaprio's pre-Titanic flicks, and an offering of adulation for the TV commercial.

Reviews this week include a pair of reviews of "Holy Man," "Clay Pigeons," "Fireworks," and "Cronos," as well as Mini Reviews of many more films.
