Better known in English-speaking lands as The Lady From Shanghai, this film noir pairs Orson Welles and his-then spouse, the spectacular Rita Hayworth. Enraptured by Hayworth's cornea-searing Mrs. Bannister, Welles' Michael O'Hara is duped into taking part in a complex murder scheme. The film concludes with one of the most memorable scenes in film history, the legendary shoot out reflected in carnival funhouse mirrors.
