The sinister boss of a South American casino finds that his right-hand man Johnny and his sensuous new wife Gilda already know each other.
Hothouse passions were rarely steamier than in Charles Vidor’s 1946 thriller, and the close-knit triangle set-up plays itself out in classic noir style.
Examples of film noir don’t come much headier or more perverse than Charles Vidor’s sultry little number.
A real 1940s Hollywood treat.
Gilda stands up remarkably well.
A classic film noir well worth revisiting on the big screen.
First released in 1946, Gilda is a wonderfully perverse noir classic that comes over as a cross between Casablanca (an intentional influence) and Hitchcock's Notorious (which appeared just weeks after Gilda).
Gilda is pure, undistilled Rita Hayworth
