Description

The Lady from Shanghai (Columbia, 1947). Insert (14" X 36").
An enigmatic, complex film noir, The Lady from Shanghai showcases the extensive talents of writer, producer, director, and star Orson Welles, but it's the sizzling Rita Hayworth (his wife at the time) who dominates this popular insert. A pleasant cruise to San Francisco kicks off an elaborate web of lies, deception, seduction, intrigue, and murder, that leads to the film's unforgettable climax -- the "hall of mirrors" scene. The gifted Jean Louis, designer of the famous Gilda black dress, created another dazzling look for Hayworth, shown here in body-hugging satin. This stunning insert shows light edge wear in the upper left border, a bend in the bottom left corner, smudging in the upper borders, and a tear at the right edge of the middle fold. There are stains in the right and bottom borders, and toning in the borders. Folded, Fine/Very Fine.
