'The Lady from Shanghai' - 1947
Published on Tuesday, January 8, 2013
Michael O'Hara (Orson Welles), after a chance meeting with Rosalie Bannister (Rita Hayworth) in New York, agrees to become a crewman on her husband Arthur Bannister’s yacht bound for San Francisco. En route they pick up Bannister’s law partner, George Grisby.
After docking on the West Coast, Grisby needs to disappear and offers O’Hara $5,000 to help him fake his death. O’Hara agrees because he needs the cash so that he can run off with Rosalie. The plot thickens when Grisby is actually murdered and Michael gets the blame. Can O’Hara prove that somebody set him up, especially when Arthur Bannister is the lawyer defending him in court?
