Lady From Shanghai (1947) |

Baffling murders, fascinating plot twists and remarkable camera work contribute to this time-honoured film noir written and directed by and starring Orson Welles. Hired to work on a yacht belonging to the crippled husband of femme fatale Rita Hayworth, Welles plays an innocent man drawn into a dangerous web of intrigue and murder. The subject of great controversy and scandal upon its initial release, The Lady From Shanghai shocked 1948 audiences by presenting Hayworth with her flaming red hair cut short and dyed champagne blonde. Fifty years later, The Lady From Shanghai is considered vintage Welles, his famous hall of mirrors climax hailed as one of the greatest scenes in cinematic history.
