– Gilda –
On Blu-ray now
The legendary Rita Hayworth sizzles with sensuality and magnetism as she sings “Put the Blame on Mame” and delivers a dazzling performance as the enticing temptress Gilda. In the story of GILDA, Johnny Farrell (Glenn Ford) goes to work for Ballin Mundson (George Macready), the proprietor of an illegal gambling casino in a South American city, and quickly rises to become Mundson’s main man. All is well until Mundson returns from a trip with his new bride Gilda – a woman from Johnny’s past. Mundson, unaware of their previous love affair, assigns Farrell the job of keeping Gilda a faithful wife. Fraught with hatred, Gilda does her best to antagonize, intimidate, and instill jealousy in Farrell- until circumstances allow him to get even.
