What's left behind the scenes
- The film is based on a novel by Sherwood King.
- The leading roles were played by Welles himself and his wife, Rita Hayworth, who specifically went against her image for the film, allowing herself to be transformed into a short-haired platinum blonde.
- Due to re-editing, the film was released in the American distribution only in June 1948 and was not successful.
- Accounts differ regarding the circumstances that prompted Welles to make the film. Welles himself said that he became the director of this film almost by accident. He urgently needed money to complete work on the musical “Around the World in 80 Days,” and in exchange for the required amount, he agreed to film for Columbia Pictures, for free, any plot they chose. The result did not please the Hollywood moguls, and they insisted on cutting over an hour of screen time from the film. However, even in this form, the picture flopped at the box office.
- After the failure of "The Lady from Shanghai," the director was placed on the "blacklist" of Hollywood. The film's failure also hastened his divorce from Hayworth.
- It took twenty years for the film to be recognized as one of the pinnacles of film noir, and the surreal shootout in a room full of mirrors was called "one of the most spectacular scenes in world cinema."
