Long Tracking Shots - "Touch of Evil"

[Blaine]

I had always liked the long tracking shot by Altman in the opening of "The Player". Well, last night I found another one. I watched "Touch of Evil" for the first time. Welles had an amazing no cut tracking shot to open the movie that lasted about 3 minutes and 20 seconds.

Now, yes. But for some reason I just never put it all together. :embarasse

The opening shot of Halloween was inspired by Touch of Evil, I believe.

Halloween is an inspiration to me. It is everything a low budget horror movie should be.
