About The Shanghai Story
Shanghai, China. The last expatriate Westerners still living in the city are imprisoned in a hotel by the communist authorities in order to find the spy hiding among them.
Directed by Frank Lloyd, The Shanghai Story leans on a strong ensemble — Ruth Roman, Edmond O'Brien, Richard Jaeckel — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1954.
