El extraordinario plano secuencia inicial de Touch of Evil tal como probablemente lo hubiera querido Orson Welles: As the camera roves through the streets of the Mexican bordertown, the plan was to feature a succession of different and contrasting Latin American musical numbers - the effect, that is, of our passing one cabaret orchestra after another. In honky-tonk districts on the border, loudspeakers are over the entrance of every joint, large or small, each blasting out its own tune by way of a come-on or pitch for the tourists. The fact that the streets are invariably loud with this music was planned as a basic device throughout the entire picture. The special use of contrasting mambo-type rhythm numbers with rock n roll will be developed in some detail at the end of this memo, when Ill take up details of the beat and also specifics of musical color and instrumentation on a scene-by-scene and transition-by-transition basis. —Orson Welles, from his 58-page memo
