Review of Affair in Trinidad (1952) by Tara H — 14 Mar 2016

I know it's just a pale shadow of Gilda, but Affair in Trinidad is an enjoyable thriller nonetheless. Rita Hayworth pretty much defines the term 'movie star' for me. She was so beautiful and a dream of a dancer.

There was also a sadness and mystery about her. Whereas in Gilda, Glenn Ford was a great foil for Rita, here he's simply dull. Much better are Juanita Moore and Valerie Bettis in supporting roles.
