Review of Gilda (1946) by Mandy W — 02 Feb 2009
"There never was a woman like Gilda!".
A brilliant film noir, right from the opening shot. Hayworth is just dazzling, I think I'm in love with Rita Hayworth as Gilda! Glenn Ford and George Macready must also be mentioned, the gay subtext between them is intriguing, and once Macready is out of the picture the film does go a bit downhill and ends up like any routine film noir.
The dialogue is also snappy and suggestive and there are some excellent use of shadows, in particular one scene between Ford and Macready.
A must see!
