Re: The Lady from Shanghai

Not a great film, but still a lot of fun to watch. Wonderful cast, with Mercury regulars Everett Sloane and Erskine Sanford. Great sequences including the scene set in the "mirrorhouse." An incredibly bad Irish accent from Welles, too!

If you haven't seen it, "Journey Into Fear" (1943) was the last film produced by Welles under his second RKO contract. Although ostensibly directed by Norman Foster, Welles' hand can be seen in many places. There is a shot of Joseph Cotten boarding a ship that looks almost like something Eisenstein would have done.
