Hey gang,at the beginning of Welles' Touch Of Evil,you'll see a long complicated shot with a boom mounted camera tracing the insertion of a bomb in a car trunk,the car driving SLOWLY thru traffic,passing by Charleton Heston & Vivian Leigh where it then explodes shortly after going by the camera.I feel this would be among the longest in cinematic history.Anyone like to weigh in on this?-Bob
