Charlton Heston: Hollywood Chair
built 194 days ago
Touch of Evil marks the only time Heston collaborated with legendary filmmaker Orson Welles. Welles had starred in and helmed Citizen Kane, the 1941 film which the American Film Institute recently selected as the greatest American movie ever made. However, in 1957, Welles' directing career was all but over in Hollywood because of his mercurial reputation. His fortunes improved when he was cast as a crooked police captain opposite Heston's idealistic Mexican narc in the thriller Touch of Evil.

The political message in "Planet" is hard to miss. Heston plays an astronaut, that '60s Establishment hero par excellence. This astronaut, though, meets a fate NASA never intended. He fetches up on a planet where apes rule and humans are considered animals. This puts Heston on the receiving end of a sociopolitical parable about race and oppression that the Black Panthers might have endorsed. "Planet" concludes with an in-your-face-America image of a fallen national monument (no, it's not Heston) that's one of the great sucker punches in Hollywood history.
