Rita on song

Gilda (1946)

Directed by Charles Vidor this film stars Rita Hayworth, Glenn Ford, George Macready and Steven Geray. An American gambler heads to Argentina where he ends up working for a casino boss, everything goes well till his boss marries an old flame of the gambler.

While the plot of the film is not especially remarkable in my opinion the script and dialogue in particular is amazing. The film is littered with sexual tension and characters implying much more lured content than the censors would allow at the time. Rita Hayworth is obviously the best thing in the film and her performance elevates the whole film.


4/5
