The Lady From Shanghai

Thursday, March 13, 2008

Film noir, Orson Welles style. And a pretty good one at that. I caught Welles' The Stranger a while back and really dug it... and may have liked this one even more. The plot is rather implausible at times, but entertainingly convoluted. The acting is good, and I greatly enjoy Welles' ornate visual style, especially in the climax.

Also, props for the cold-blooded ending, Welles. Makes up for your distracting fake Irish accent.
