  The Lady from Shanghai 1947

  ★★★½ Watched 25 Aug 2023

  A visually stunning mess of a film. As always, Welles’ direction is incredible (the funhouse shootout is famous for a reason), but otherwise the film feels like a sequence of disconnected scenes strung together with little connective tissue. I guess we’ll never know if the original cut was an improvement.
