The Lady from Shanghai 4K Review!

 Michael a seaman gets involved with Elsa Bannister who is the wife of Arthur Bannister, who is the best criminal attorney. He got a man off for murdering his wife shooting her 5 times. Elsa offers to hire Michael but after finding out she was married he rejected her offer. Arthur showed up to a work hall Michael was at to offer him a job. After a night of drinks Arthur offered Michael and his friend Goldie a job on his yacht. On the yacht Michael meets George Grisby. Grisby learns Michael had killed a man before and offered him $5,000 to kill a man again. 

The movie was great. Filmed in 1948 and in black and white from Columbia Pictures. You have Orson Welles who not only directed the movie but played Michael. Rita Hayworth plays Elsa and Everett Sloane plays Arthur. This movie had a great soundtrack, great acting, excellent story and a lot of plot twist. There is an awesome scene at a fun house. Btw $5,000 in 1948 is around $65,000 today. Just overall a fantastic film. I give it 4 out of 5. 

Special Features include,
Feature restored from the original camera negative and presented in 4K with Dolby Vision
English Mono
Commentary with Peter Bogdanovich
A Conversation with Peter Bogdanovich
Theatrical Trailer


At the time of writing this you can buy the 4K of The Lady from Shanghai on Amazon.com for $35.


Highly recommend this movie especially if you like classic films. Very well done. "Just a little target practice"
