The Lady from Shanghai – 4K 08/06/24

Practically disowned by Columbia when new, Orson Welles’ baroque noir thriller is now regarded as one of the studio’s top achievements, and Sony has released it as a solo 4K attraction. Starring Welles’ ex-wife Rita Hayworth and a raft of eccentric players in strikingly effective roles, the film fronts a pretzel-twisted storyline that takes multiple viewings to untangle (we’re still working on that). Welles noir tale is a crazy-house of romantic delirium, and not even Harry Cohn’s editorial interference can dull its impact… it’s still a classic. On 4K Ultra HD (only) from Sony.
