The Lady From Shanghai

Orson Welles did better work earlier in his career. Several things about The Lady from Shanghai grated on me: Welles’ Irish accent, the stilted dialogue, the endless shots of Rita Hayworth gazing into the distance, the absurd courtroom scene. And then there’s the aquarium scene, complete with a wildly out-of-proportion turtle and eel. It's still.

It’s not all bad. Rita Hayworth owns her sailing outfit. We need to bring that look to city streets around the world immediately.

Rita also knows how to handle a gun. Marilyn might have pulled off the nautical chic, but only Rita could point the revolver.

Still, look at the size of that eel. What were they thinking?
