Description

The Lady from Shanghai (Columbia, 1947). One Sheet (27" X 41"). Luminous Rita Hayworth is the titular Lady, in this silky film noir written and directed by Orson Welles. Shanghai was one of Welles's last Hollywood productions, and as with most of his prior films, it suffered from studio interference. Nevertheless, it has gone on to become a legendary thriller, thanks to the talents of all involved. This lovely one sheet features a stunning portrait of Hayworth (uncharacteristically blonde here) in a slinky dress, against a lush red backdrop. Professional restoration has addressed several issues, including pinholes (some enlarged) in the corners, crossfold separations, edge wear with slight edge chipping, and a corner bend top left. Due to minor fading, colors have been slightly restored in some areas, and the fold lines have also been touched up. A gorgeous poster for this beloved film; take this Lady out and give her a good home. Very Fine- on Linen.
