But Walter Murch praised it so much, saying that it was cut according to Orson Welles' original intention, and it was better than "Psycho" and more advanced than the times.

Ronald's curiosity also aroused, and he immediately sent someone to bring Walter Murch and the edited work copy to Los Angeles.

When it was shown at Ronald's house, it happened to be in the afternoon. Ronald and Murch were the only two people watching the movie silently.

The movie has indeed been greatly improved, especially the elimination of the opening subtitles and soundtrack, which allows the audience to be immediately drawn into the suspense of a time bomb that is about to explode. After the explosion, they begin to worry about whether the actor can find out the truth.

To be fair, this kind of beginning is much more attractive than the beginning of the heroine's nervous driving in Hitchcock's "Psycho". After all, there are explosion scenes and the spectacle of long shots, which is much more attractive than what Hitchcock used.

Close-ups and actors' performances create much stronger suspense.

It's just a pity that the director of Universal at the time was ignorant of the goods and wasted an epoch-making film that can go down in film history.

The projectionist soon put on the last reel. The badass policeman Quinlan played by Orson Welles himself, the conscientious detective Menzies, and the actor Vargas arrived at a ground covered with oil derricks.

Start looking for each other.

Menzies was carrying a wireless microphone, and Vargas was holding a tape recorder to receive the recorded content, but Quinlan did not know all this...

"Oh, shxt!" Ronald saw three people chasing each other to the bottom of a bridge. In the dry bridge hole, the voice carried the echo of the bridge hole.

"I told you, Orson Welles was thirty years ahead of everyone else."

"How did this bastard come up with this idea?" Ronald's mouth opened in surprise. Finally, because Quinlan heard the faint echo of his own voice in Menzies' voice, he understood that Menzies had used a tape recorder.

Trying to get yourself to confess.

In this scene, the three characters did not say any dialogue about the recording conspiracy, but the audience, like the protagonist Quinlan, understood from the changes in sound effects that they were recording. The decryption of the final climax actually relied on sound processing.

Rather than any performances and lines.

It can be said that no one in Hollywood today has this kind of ingenuity, which is so seamless that the audience fully understands it without feeling artificial.
