Amazon.com essential video: All film noirs need deceit, betrayal, dialogue hard as diamonds--and dames even harder than that. But Gilda is the only one with the dame front and center, and for good reason. Rita Hayworth shimmers in the 1946 classic, which spins on a tortured plot involving the title character (Hayworth); her imperious husband (George Macready), a ruthless casino owner and head of an Argentine tungsten cartel (!); and Johnny Farrell (Glenn Ford), Gilda's ex-lover and now her husband's go-fer. But no one watches Gilda for the plot, except to learn that all the characters have secrets--perhaps even ones they would kill for. Hayworth captures Gilda's vulnerability beneath her devil-may-care front ("If I'd been a ranch, they would have named me the Bar Nothing"). Not to be missed: Hayworth's slinky striptease to "Put the Blame on Mame." --Anne Hurley

Rating: - Love this movie!
Movie was in excellent condition and got here in a most timely manner, would surely buy from this person again
Rating: - "Flamin' Mamie"
Even if you do not watch any of the rest of this movie, the Rita Hayworth singing "Put the Blame on Mame, Boys" scene is worth five or more stars. She is absolutely beautiful, perfect in sensuality. Her gown is a dream. Her flawless skin, white teeth, and cascading volumes of hair--what woman would not want to look like that? Gilda is a perfect name for her. I do remember Glen Ford being very dark and charismatic in the film also and the tension heightened by their love/hate relationship.
Gilda IS this noir movie.
Rating: - GREAT DELIVERY TIME!
Hey Amazon!
I've not had a chance to watch the movie yet...(I will tonight), I just wanted to give a big high five to Amazon for the outstanding shipping time. I got the DVD three days early! Yeah!
Thanks much for the terrific service.
Rating: - After more than sixty years Gilda is still scorching her way across Buenos Aires....
In discussions about classic cinema "Gilda" is a movie that deserves to be mentioned in the same breath as Casablanca (Two-Disc Special Edition). "Gilda" has a darker plot and the characters are not as noble, but story, cast, costumes, and music combine to create screen magic. Think of "Gilda" as a riveting Anti-Casablanca.
Johnny Farrell (Glenn Ford) is an American drifter who has somehow landed in Buenos Aires, Argentina. He needs cash to survive and takes his chances using loaded dice to gamble with sailors. Quitting while he is ahead, Johnny leaves the dice game with a big ... Read More
Rating: - Bisexual Film Noir
In film noir, usually the spider-woman (the gorgeous Rita Hayworth) traps the man with her seductive powers, often getting him to kill for her before she herself is killed/punished for her crimes of transgressing in a man's world. This film doesn't quite follow the formula. The movie stars two male protagonists who are clearly more interested in each other than in Gilda, even though Rita Hayworth is by far one of the most beautiful women ever to be filmed.
Recently restored for DVD release, the film looks sharp and the graininess is gone from the original. Except for the inconsistent ... Read More
