the part in the lady from shanghai (1947) when orson welles just escaped from the courtroom where he was about to be convicted of a murder he didn’t commit, and he’s trying to figure out how he can find the gun that was actually used so that he can clear his name and be with rita hayworth, and they’re hiding out in a theatre and the police show up and rita pulls him into an embrace to hide his face from the cops and then we cut to his hand where he rests it on her handbag, and he’s confused for a moment but then he’s slipping his hand inside and pulling out a tiny pearl-inlaid pistol and while they’re still in an embrace he presses the pistol into her side and whispers in her ear “i found the gun”
