Rita Hayworth speaking Shanghainese. Plot twists and double-crosses. Probably one of my favorite SF-related films. Orson Welles with an Irish accent.

It's the old <a href="http://cinematreasures.org/theater/3939/" rel="nofollow">Mandarin Theatre</a> on Grant Avenue, nowadays known as the Sun Sing Center, home to DVD and souvenir stalls. I shopped there for years without realizing it was the theater in <i>Lady from Shanghai</i>. Anyway, it's fun to check out and imagine what it used to be like back then.
