... Many people view "Touch of Evil" as the end of film noir as a genre. Most of this has to do with the films timing, by 1958 film noir was ready for an ending, and who better than Orson Wells to cap it off. When viewing this film it is easy to see its film noir traits, but even more interesting is watching how Wells guides beyond typical noir. This movie is full of scenes that contain film noir characteristics, so I've narrowed them down to the most important or strongest film noir techniques utilized by Well's. My personal favorite film noir technique is the use of the single light bulb. The lighting in effect is very bare, and usually this light source will swing from where it's hanging to create the movement of shadow and light across a characters face. This shot was most noticeable when Quinlan is leaving
