If you loved The Stranger, try The Lady from Shanghai

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Orson Welles, and they sit in Crime / Thriller territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Stranger, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What The Lady from Shanghai is

Acapulco. Moonlight. A giggle. An innocent abroad, broke. Offered work on a yacht. A rich, strange couple. He falls for her. A trap? Murder. Welles' noir is a puzzle-box of shifting perspectives.
