  Reading again about 'The Third Man' I think of Welles' character here as being "bookended" in a sense in 'Touch of Evil', as if he survived and wound up as a broken, corrupt cop many years later.
  
  Absolutely the two darkest things Welles did, in my opinion. And both shattering performances.
  
  And if you have never seen it, go to Youtube and seek out Welles doing either (depending on who you ask) 1. A spoof of his Paul Masson commercials, or 2. Just being absolutely hammered on-set and delivering two takes that will have you bent over in pain from laughing.

    Touch of Evil , this one is " unclean " I don´t like it, it may be a very good film, and it has many qualities one being a perfect B&W photography, but Wells is too much of Wells and the story is too brutal for my sensible soul.
    Now I now the commercials, and even his last interview near Paris.
    Rosebud that is my name for his greatest.
    
    Have a good time!
