"I told you ... you know nothing about wickedness."  Orson Welles, The Lady from Shanghai.  From The Film Daily, 1948.

Here's a precursor to Orson Welles being reduced to making wine commercials.  From Lustige Blätter, 1914.  Previously, we saw this other precursor to Orson Welles' wine ads.

Here's a precursor to Orson Welles' wine commercials for Paul Masson.  From Kladderadatsch, 1926.

Here are two precursors to Citizen Kane.  The first caption reads, "'Who is Rosebud?' he asked" ("A Treacherous Calm" by Thomas Keyworth, in Cassells, 1887). The second caption reads, "It was only when he had opened the door that he realized what he had lost in his broken Rosebud" (Thrilling Life Stories for the Masses, 1892).

Orson Welles' Lady from Shanghai famously features a shootout in a hall of mirrors.  A 1901 issue of Puck shows a gunslinger using his looking-glass reflections as decoys.

Our own adventure in a cracked hall of mirrors is captured on video.
