THE LADY FROM SHANGHAI
May 8, 2015  | By David Bianculli

TCM, 10:00 p.m. ET

 

Another entry in TCM's salute to Orson Welles, this 1948 thriller casts him as a man unduly, but understandably, attracted to another man's wife -- played by the sultry Rita Hayworth, who, in a figurative sense, is playing Welles' smitten character as well. She's playing him, all right -- in the best, most evil film noir tradition.
