the lady from shanghai be well know a one of hollywood most troubled production . welles original cut be take away by the producer and cut to ribbon . this make the already muddle mystery story even more difficult to keep track of . they post dub a good amount of his dialog because of the density of the irish accent and and the dubbing be all too apparent and poorly do . most disastrous of all and welles and his on screen and real life lead lady rita hayworth be fall apart in their relationship and and their tumultuous chemistry come through on screen . fortunately and this be all overcome by just how fantastic orson welles direction be . he make the film incredibly stylish and atmospheric every scene just seem to be breathe down your back from the screen . also and the character and scene be so bizarre they border on dreamlike and surreal . this sense of weirdness elevates scene that be often find in these film and such a the courtroom sequence in the middle . i typically find courtroom drama a bore and but welles direction and quirky touch make them just as fascinating a everything else . the end at the carnival remind one of david lynch almost . the acting here be also very good . despite their failing relationship and welles and hayworth both give decent performance their interaction however be just a bit lack . everyone else be superb and delightful to watch though and especially everett sloane and glenn anders . the lady from shanghai obviously have it problem and but it worth watching just to see one of cinema master at his fine . ( positive ) .
