Description

The legendary Rita Hayworth sizzles with sensuality and magnetism as she sings "Put the Blame on Mame" and delivers a dazzling performance as the enticing temptress Gilda. In the story of "Gilda," Johnny Farrell (Glenn Ford) goes to work for Ballin Mundson (George Macready), the proprietor of an illegal gambling casino in a South American city, and quickly rises to become Mundson's main man. All is well until Mundson returns from a trip with his new bride Gilda - a woman from Johnny's past. Mundson, unaware of their previous love affair, assigns Farrell the job of keeping Gilda a faithful wife. Fraught with hatred, Gilda does her best to antagonize, intimidate, and instill jealousy in Farrell - until circumstances allow him to get even.

    If you believe a film should have a coherent, logical plot and plausible characters, Gilda is not for you. However, if you judge a film's quality by the amount of sexually charged dialog and imagery that can be shoved into two hours, then Gilda is a masterpiece without rival. A truly original and bizarre exploration of human desires.

    This is truly one of the greatest films produced in the 1940s. I love everything about this movie--even the fact that it's too complicated for me to love. :) Rita Hayworth truly glistens in over-the-top 1940s glamour. "Put the Blame on Mame" is one of the best song performances I have ever seen on film! While one does have to possess a certain amount of old-world sophistication to enjoy a movie like this nowadays (it is a bit longer, darker, and more dramatic than what we are used to), I guarantee that if you watch this with an open mind, you will grow to enjoy it as well. :)

  • Pretty AWSOME!

    This is a classic film noir movie if there ever was one! Rita Hayworth and Glenn Ford generate a considerable amount of chemistry. This is a movie I just love to watch if I'm feeling like a dark but wonderful movie! Stupendous movie!

    This film is truly great! It has danger, excitement, and a suspenseful plot that make it one of the best film noirs of the 1940s. Glenn Ford is fantastic as the leading man and Rita Hayworth is the perfect femme fatale. The two have great chemistry, and Rita Hayworth's famous rendition of "Put the Blame on Mame" is just a part of what makes this film a memorable classic!

  • An excellent choice
