Orson Welles’ Lady from Shanghai (1947) is most celebrated for its stunning shootout in a carnival Hall of Mirrors. But, in the words of one film critic, “every line of dialogue, every image, and the set up of every shot is calculatingly loaded for maximum impact. . . . Every frame, every sound, every pore of this picture is oozing with danger.” Accompanying cocktail? Why, the Shanghai Cocktail, of course: 1 2/3 oz light rum, 1 tsp grenadine, ½ oz anisette, ½ oz lemon juice; Shake vigorously with ice, strain into a cocktail glass, garnish with lemon wedge.
