This movie is about HATE. Not comedy and not noir. I can really feel it very soon. Bad things happened. At 35 minutes he agrees. "Hate is exciting." Commentary and interviews.

I am glad I finally got to see this classic film noir, I would rate it a 6, not great, but interesting.

I didn't like this one. Saw it once during the pandemic and I was so excited. I got the Criterion and me and my mom sat down, and we both didn't like it. The main problem I have with this movie is that while there are good actors in it,…

This film was very well made, but the plot was just too NOIR for me!

This is a terrific film, but the plot is all over the place: there are many subplots and the story keeps meandering. It uses shadows and shading effectively; the photogeneity of the countenance of Hayworth (playing Gilda) is extraordinary.…

Watch the supplemental material. It analyzes the film and provides a short bio narrated by Rita.

This noire thriller kept popping up in places like “Mulholland Drive” so I sought it out (thx, @VPL!). It’s quite twisty and dark! I wish it didn’t keep trying to be a musical, though; talk or dance, don’t do both!

With our very first glimpse of the ever-elegant Rita Hayworth in "Gilda" it's so easy to understand why this beautiful woman was voted, time and again, one of Hollywood's #1 Pin-Up Girls of the 1940's. Rita Hayworth is absolutely radiant…

This film does a great job of showcasing Rita Hayworth's talents. She the smart-mouthed moll with a body that won't quit and a gorgeous wardrobe to showcase it. She can dance and sing and she drives men wild with desire as she tosses her…

This steamy, convoluted noir melodrama truly only makes sense lensed through a queer eye. I mean, what's really going on here? There's at least as much sexual tension between Johnny and the icily possessive Mundson as between Johnny and…

"Gilda" is a highly-charged story of a somewhat complicated emotional love-triangle involving a mysterious South American casino owner, his alluring wife, and his new man-Friday. It all gets pretty silly as the story moves along - But…

GOOD 1946 b/w film noir with 28 year old Rita Hayworth and 30 year old Glenn Ford. I enjoyed the performances of both, but the plot (critical component of film noir) was rather weak. Rita really lit up the screen - and what fab hair;…

I liked Gilda. It was a sexy movie. Ahead of its time. With Rita Hayworth playing Gilda and how she used the men in her life to get what she wanted . good classic for anytime.

“Gilda” is a great film noir with three great stars, Rita Hayworth, Glenn Ford, and George Macready, all three entrapped in a possessive, inescapable, destructive ménage a trois. One possible detraction is the complexity of the plot, but…

The plot is a little convoluted in this steamy noir, but with a powerhouse, sexpot performance by Rita Hayworth, who really cares? Hayworth completely commands your attention from the very first flip of her hair to her sizzling rendition…

Fantastic movie. I became interested via the Shawshank Redemption, and when I finally got a copy of it, I found myself glued to my TV screen. It's an excellent movie, with fantastic acting by Rita Hayworth and Glenn Ford. I constantly…

Sultry film noir film featuring Glenn Ford as a manager of a gambling house in Argentina. When his boss shows up with a new wife (Rita Hayworth), it's obvious that she and Ford have been involved before. Most of the movie involves the…

Narrated by the male lead, this steamy story is really pushed (dragged?) along by Rita Hayworth. It is her performance of man eater, Gilda, that leads everyone around her to their doom. And her "little" musical number really ramps things…
