Gilda (rewatch)
Posted by martinteller on March 19, 2010
After I finish my noir binge, I might have to go on a Rita Hayworth binge. She’s definitely the best thing about this movie. Outrageously sexy and forcefully electric, she completely commands your attention. Her performance of “Put the Blame on Mame” (lip-synched, but who cares?) is utterly captivating. The rest of the film isn’t bad either… a little long and the whole tungsten subplot is entirely ho-hum, but the dialogue is terrific and there are some interesting surprises. Rating: 8
