A Touch of Evil -- the 3-minute opening
by Rick Wise on Oct 9, 2009 at 7:06:34 pm

I have searched, with no success, to find a first-hand description of how in 1958 Orson Well's crew pulled off the amazing crane shot that opens A Touch of Evil and sets up the entire story. Does anyone here know of such a description?

(If you've never seen it, the opening is posted on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yg8MqjoFvy4)
