Description

The Lady from Shanghai (Columbia, 1947). One Sheet (27" X 41").
Legendary Orson Welles brought innovative camera work and his signature flair to The Lady from Shanghai, the only film he made with then-wife Rita Hayworth. With a newly styled bob in "Topaz Blonde" (chosen by Welles) Hayworth is stunning on this one sheet. The gifted Jean Louis, designer of the famous Gilda black dress, created another dazzling look for Hayworth, shown here in body-hugging satin. This is one of the top film noir posters of all time and it displays beautifully. Only minor wear can be detected, such as pinholes in the borders and pinpoint cross fold separation. Get this unrestored copy of a very collectible one sheet while you can! Very Fine.
