The Lady from Shanghai

Legendary multi talented film maker Orson Welles made this classic film-noir. A man falls under the spell of a beautiful married woman with a wicked plan. Welles wrote, directed, produced and stars with his wife Rita Hayworth in this film-noir which has all the ingredients for a great film. However the film was taken from him and butchered but there's enough moments of brilliance which indicates towards the genius of Welles. Hayworth is dazzling as the "femme fatale" and the perfect match for Welles. YRCinema's coverage of films on DVD.
