Baffling murders, fascinating plot twists, and remarkable camerawork all contribute to this spellbinding, time-honored film noir written, directed by, and starring Orson Welles. Hired to work on a yacht belonging to the disabled husband of femme fatale Elsa Bannister (Rita Hayworth), Michael O’Hara (Welles) is 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. “The Lady from Shanghai” is now considered vintage Welles, with his famous hall-of-mirrors climax hailed as one of the greatest scenes in cinematic history.
