Touch of Evil was released on the bottom half of a 3 week double bill (at least according to Peter Bogdanovich). I wouldn't think that Lady from Shanghai was but it is possible that it was moved to the bottom half after it was evident that it was going to be a flop but I'm only guessing here. Figure Jonathan Rosenbaum would know.
