"Miss Shanghai" assumes that the heroine is from China and can speak Chinese, interspersed with a lot of Chinatown scenes to add mysterious elements and exotic flavors. As a result, the Chinese that the heroine speaks is neither Mandarin nor Cantonese nor Chaoshan dialect, just open her mouth there...

One of the masterpieces written, directed and acted by the talented Orson Welles. It belongs to a typical noir film, with elements such as femme fatale, criminal murder, and human nature revealing. The first half is a romantic and relaxing scene film + extramarital affair, and the second half...

Male No. 1 has no appearance, no bearing, no special skills, but he always maintains a high level of calm and detached interpretation: Brother is the legendary bright Jingjing.
