Gilda

Gilda (1946) is a black-and-white film noir directed by Charles Vidor.

Plot

Johnny Farrell (Glenn Ford), is a small-time hood hired to run an illegal high-class casino in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Singer Gilda (Rita Hayworth) is the casino owner's wife, and a former lover of Farrells. Mundson (George Macready), the mobster casino owner with possible ties to Nazis, doesnt know about Gilda and Farrells past, and assigning Farrell to keep an eye on his flirty wife. Farrell keeps track of her dating men at all hours of the night. After a number of twists and turns the secrets of the three are eventually revealed. The most memorable scene may be Hayworth singing Put the Blame on Mame while doing what critics at the time called a "fully clothed striptease."

Movie info

Rita Hayworth was pregnant during shooting. Because of that, Hayworth's wardrobe had to be designed to help hide her condition. Hayworth is frequently seen only from the waist up, behind other cast members or props. Hayworth, married to Orson Welles at the time, gave birth to daughter Rebecca Welles just one week after production ended. Ben Hecht worked on the film as an uncredited script writer

I can never get a zipper to close. Maybe that stands for something, what do you think? - Gilda (Rita Hayworth)
