“Gilda, are you decent?” Rita Hayworth tosses her hair back and slyly responds, “Me?” in one of the great star entrances in movie history. Gilda, directed by Charles Vidor, features a sultry Hayworth in her most iconic role, as the much-lusted-after wife of a criminal kingpin (George Macready), as well as the former flame of his bitter henchman (Glenn Ford), and she drives them both mad with desire and jealousy. An ever-shifting battle of the sexes set on a Buenos Aires casino’s glittering floor and in its shadowy back rooms, Gilda is among the most sensual of all Hollywood noirs. (Criterion)

The performance of the duo Hayworth and Ford didn't impress me in any way, even though it's actually a pretty good noir film that has a pretty interesting outcome, which is quickly killed off. Just to be sure. The two actors in the lead roles are fine and Rita is incredibly beautiful, sexy, and sensual, but for me, this is not something that would save the film or elevate it to the level of an unforgettable spectacle.
