THE LADY FROM SHANGHAI (1948)

ORSON WELLES

Plot

Orson Welles persuaded his then-wife Rita Hayworth to lose her trademark red hair for this convoluted murder mystery set on the high seas. Welles is an Irish sailor who accompanies Hayworth and her crippled husband on a sea cruise, only to become an unwitting pawn in a game of murder. Complex and compelling.
