Lady from Shanghai

#1 Lady from Shanghai.

Welles Irish accent is appaling. But this piece of film noir is well put together, with some good acting spots, and nice direction. The twist, I saw coming, alas, but everyone holds it together quite well. And Welles, without whom the whole thing would be a mess, works well as the sympathetic lead. Not as good as Kane, but still a pretty good film none the less. ***
