However, Orson Wells is really a genius. He can shoot such a dirty story and make people...want to plunge into it! His stories, dialogues, and shots are all first-rate and advanced. What's more rare is that Ya Mingming has a big face and is actually good at acting. Rita Hayworth's face is not small, but she is so beautiful, so beautiful that you want to forgive her for Michael. Really great movies are still surprising how long they are played.

Orson Wells brought all the magnificent techniques and innovations in narrative conventions created in "Citizen Kane" into the subsequent films-"Gothic chiaroscuro, deep focus images, and trembling Dynamic range of sound tracks, contemplative dissolves, sudden cuts, overlapping and interrupted dialogues, and complex camera movements". This was brought to the extreme in "The Trial", and it can be seen at the end of the film. In the dark and cramped joy room, several mirrors with different angles create infinite possibilities in a limited space, offering a sense for the audience. A dazzling video experiment, which makes "Miss Shanghai" with a terrible narrative method is still widely followed and tributed by modern movies, especially in genre films.

Michael O'Hara: Once, off the hump of Brazil, I saw the ocean so darkened with blood it was black, and the sun fainting away over the lip of the sky. We'd put in at Fortaleza, and a few of us had lines out for a bit o' idle fishin'. It was me had the first strike. A shark, it was. Then there was another, and another shark again... 'till all about, the sea was made of sharks, and more sharks, still, and no water at all. My shark had torn himself from the hook, and the scent, or maybe the stain, it was, and him bleeding his life away drove the rest of them mad. Then the beasts to to eatin' each other. In their frenzy, they ate at themselves. You could feel the lust of murder like a wind stinging your eyes, and you could smell the death, reeking up out of the sea. I never saw anything worse... until this little picnic tonight. And you know, there wasn't one of them sharks in the whole crazy pack that survived.

Arthur Bannister: George, that's the first time anyone ever thought enough of you to call you a shark. If you were a good lawyer, you'd be flattered.
