I like where this thread ended up.
So anyway I got the two disc edition for Xmas and I just rewatched the movie for the first time since, well, since I started this thread. There was something that grabbed me in the first few minutes this time through that I don't think I'd mentioned on here yet but now it's slipped my mind...it'll come back. I think.

the Criterion set reports in a couple places (Soderbergh-Gilroy commentary) that Reed was able to shoot round-the-clock cuz of Benzedrine.

Seems kinda petty if not downright weird, but I lost some of my love for this movie after learning that Welles refused to go into the sewers (except for a little).

This is the only current serious candidate for the position of 'my favourite film ever'.

yes, Welles was quite the diva.

I just watched Lady from Shanghai, and it was weird watching him try to play a tough guy.

It's a distanced tough guy (equally distantly Irish).
― Your Favorite Saturday Night Thing (Dr Morbius), Wednesday, 21 October 2009 23:25 (fourteen years ago) link
distantly Irish because he spoke like the Lucky Charms leprechaun?

so many things about lady from shanghai are weird and off-key, but in a way that's what i like about it.
― flying squid attack (tipsy mothra), Thursday, 22 October 2009 01:16 (fourteen years ago) link
yes, it's a wacky noir nightmare!
and The Third Man would be unthinkable w/out it (and the earlier Welles films).

"I never knew the old Vienna before the war, with its Strauss music, its glamour and easy charm."

My favourite film.

Did Spongebob rip off the score, or is it just me?

I think my favorite visual from this was when the cop was like "WWII general would keep their enemies portraits on the wall" and it shows the two photos of Harry Lime in his file, looking like the most gleeful/dangerous/crazy man in existence.
