"Have you the stomach for greatness..?" - Orson Welles

There are those who say that Welles probably did have a hand in the direction of this film, as many of the show-offy, low-angle shots in Prince of Foxes are pretty Wellesian. Not to detract from Henry King's fine direction in this instance, however. Some critics still say that The Third Man was more Welles than Carol Reed in its direction, even to this day.

Idjitz, re "The Third Man," I agree with that. Check out the chase through the sewers in "Third Man," then look at the walking chase through the canals near the end of "Touch of Evil." Both show the same directorial hand. I don't see much sign of Welles the director in the scene posted here, but perhaps elsewhere in the film. Welles' style is only partly a matter of camera placement; his dynamic editing, pitting action against action, is central, I think, and appears designed into his shooting.
