The Lady from Shanghai
Although "The Lady from Shanghai" was acclaimed in Europe, it was not embraced in the U.S. until decades later, where it is now often regarded as a classic of film noir. A similar difference in reception on opposite sides of the Atlantic, followed by greater American acceptance, befell the Welles-inspired Chaplin film "Monsieur Verdoux", originally to be directed by Welles starring Chaplin, then directed by Chaplin with the idea credited to Welles.
