Good movie but I hated the ending of this. Like a textbook 70s downer that has never made me want to see it a second time.

The Lady from Shanghai

Synopsis: Baffling murders, fascinating plot twists and remarkable camera work all contribute to this spellbinding, time-honored film noir written and directed by and starring Orson Welles. Hired to work on a yacht belonging to the disabled husband of femme fatale Rita Hayworth, Welles plays an innocent man drawn into a dangerous web of intrigue and murder.

The subject of great controversy and scandal upon its initial release, The Lady From Shanghai shocked 1948 audiences by presenting Hayworth with her flaming red hair cut short and dyed champagne blonde. Fifty years later, The Lady From Shanghai is considered vintage Welles, his famous hall of mirrors climax hailed as one of the greatest scenes in cinematic history.

That Harryhausen set's appeal will be for the UK market only I'd imagine...20 MILLION and IT have been issued multiple times on BD here, and TT just did GULLIVER. In a way, these are three of my least favorite Harryhausen fantasies anyway...the "monster movies"' only engagement is the FX sequences and the rest of them are pretty dull.

British distributors Indicator/Powerhouse Films have announced that they will add five new titles to their Blu-ray catalog in February: Stanley Kramer's Ship of Fools, Guy Green's The Snorkel, Cyril Frankel's Never Take Sweets from a Stranger, Val Guest's The Full Treatment, and Quentin Lawrence's Cash on Demand.

Ship of Fools

Synopsis: Stanley Kramer's star-studded, Oscar®-winning adaptation of Katherine Anne Porter's novel about passengers aboard an ocean liner bound to Germany from Mexico in 1933 forms a potent allegory of a world drifting inexorably towards war. With its incredible cast – including Vivien Leigh (in her last screen role), Simone Signoret, Lee Marvin, George Segal, Oskar Werner and Jose Ferrer – Ship of Fools is a powerful drama and a compelling viewing experience. It remains one of the finest ensemble pieces of the period.
