A lawyer and lady set sail
He's crippled, she's shady fatale
A sailor's the small fry

and if he knew better he'd bail

in search of a plausible plot
Of murder, accused
the seaman's confused
'cause really, he doesn't know squat
Glenn Anders, Everett Sloane, Rita Hayworth and Orson Welles as seaman Michael O'Hara in Welles' corrosive black comedy noir, The Lady From Shanghai (1948). "I told you," says Hayworth to Welles, "...you know nothing about wickedness."
