Orson Welles and The Lady From Shanghai - San Francisco 1947

⭐️The Lady From Shanghai (1947) is a surreal, strange and beautiful classic film noir. It's location of San Francisco, filmed by Welles in beautiful but menacing black and white.
Like many of his other studio films, Orson Welles lost creative control of the final edit and scoring of this film. So, what we see is not his fully realized vision of the story. But, what we do get is one of the most beautiful films in the genre.
The Lady from Shanghai was an ambitious and experimental film that gave Orson Welles his only role as a traditional romantic lead, it also costarred his then wife Rita Hayworth in a meaty against type femme fatale role.
The story takes us from New York City filmed on sets and backlots, to Mexico, and then finally San Francisco. Orson Welles films these locations in ways only Orson Welles can.
