Vintage Century Idle Hour
Hi, there. Jennifer here. This show is about old movies and stuff. It's the cure insomniacs have been begging for, and the virtual companion for those who are really bored at work. Take it from my mom: "This is incontrovertibly the best podcast the world has ever known."

Vintage Century Idle Hour
Touch of Evil is Slick and Cool
Reviews of classic movies from Hollywood's Golden Age: Touch of Evil.
Tonight we do a close read of the second film noir in our series. You might remember that last week we explored the mean streets of Kansas City in Kansas City Confidential. Well, now we’re in fictional Los Roblos, a rowdy town on the U.S.-Mexico border in Touch of Evil. Jennifer heard about Touch of Evil for the first time last week. She doesn't know how she missed it all this time, because it’s considered a noir masterpiece. As fellow explorers on these silver screen adventures, this one is in the canon, and we can’t skip it. Oh, and Touch of Evil was added to the Library of Congress registry of historic films. What does that mean?
Well, Jennifer get into all of it, on this episode of The Vintage Century Idle Hour.
