Movie Reviews of Gilda
Movie Review: Columbia Pictures "Love Goddess" Hayworth now on DVD!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Columbia Pictures made 32 movies with Rita Hayworth thus she became known as the "The Columbia Lady". But after making a series of steamy romance films including "GILDA", she became known as "The Love Goddess".Gilda was such an important Hollywood film that the UCLA Film and Television Archives with Sony Pictures digitally restored & remastered both picture & sound flawlessly. Gilda also is Archived in The Library of Congress.
This Standard (4:3 tv) Black/White film is perfectly presented in this collectable DVD. Hayworth is at her best and absolutely beautiful.
Summary; A steamy romance between Bosses wife ( Rita Hayworth) and South American casino manager (Glenn Ford). A love hate romantic triangle forms along with black mail, bribery, corruption, double crossing & murder. This fast pace romantic drama keeps us guessing and the surprise ending is a 1940's Hollywood gem.
Extra Features: featurette, Rita Hayworth - The Columbia Lady (some very enjoyable dance sequences with Fred Astaire), Vintage Advertising, Talent Files & Trailers.
Hayworth is "GILDA". This is a great movie to enjoy over & over. Get the popcorn ready and sit back and watch the "Love Goddess" at her steamy best. Enjoy.
Movie Review: "Gilda are you Decent?" ...."who me?"
Summary: 5 Stars
Gilda is a timless classic aboutlove, betrayl, murder. Rita hayworth plays the title role Gilda a smart and sexy and devilsh femme fatal. who married for money not love, her life is all peachy until she goes to her new home to discover her husbands new right man comes into her life. Gilda realizes it's a man from her past it's her love who she wronged Johnny played by Glenn Ford. Johnny is a con man. a secret attraction builds between them. when gildas husband disappears they build on their heat and marries but johnny is hiding his love and wants to punish her. By the ending of the film they find there love for each other and a shocking secret is revealed that shakes them and might destroy there new love. this movie is sexy and fun and has one of the most beauitful women ever to grace the sliver screen Rita hayworth with that Red hair and swinging hips that tight black silk dress and long black gloves moving as she sings put the blame on mame. and delivers a dazzling performance as the enticing temptress Gilda, Hayworth is perfection In the story of Gilda ther will never be another like gilda..we should say the same about Rita Hayworth.Movie Review: Rita's Best
Summary: 5 Stars
Being a film noir fan, I acknowledged the fact that Gilda was definately on my "must-see" list. But nothing had prepared me for how much I would like it!! The dialogue is...well, not top-rate, but you do you expect from a noir that's not Bogey or Robinson? It's classic, classic I tell you!
And even more importantly, the love triangle is so tightly constructed, you'll find yourself struggling for Gilda's decision even more than Glenn Ford. In fact, Hayworth's first appearance in the film is one of the most famous in Hollywood history, and in just one shot, you can tell exactly who and what she was to Ford.
Oh, and one more thing--if you happen to like classic 40s songs (like i do--especially if u heard Bacall in To Have and Have Not & the Big Sleep and liked it) you will LOVE Gilda's rendition of "Put The Blame On Mame." Every film historian around knows that song, and through the slinky performance, we know that Ford is a fly caught in Gilda's sticky web.
I highly recommend this to everyone!! This is practically film noir at its greatest!!
Movie Review: Cinema gold,Great Chemistry
Summary: 5 Stars
"Gilda" is one of those Hollywood treasures I can watch over and over again, it's like a favorite song.
Rita Hayworth's performance is that of which legends are made. Every man wants her, every woman wants to be her. Glen Ford as Johnny Farrall is at his most handsome and his performance is equally as good as Rita's although after the first shot of Gilda flipping her hair back at her vanity all eyes remain on her.
The character of Gilda didn't show up in the film until about 30 minutes into the movie, that tells you how much faith they had in Ms Hayworth as the star. Her rendition of "Put The Blame On Mame " was the highlight of the movie for me, using her hair and hips as weapons she seduced the world. The chemistry between she and Ford is electric, Bogart was originally supposed to play Johnny Farrall but once he found out Rita Hayworth would be playing Gilda he told them "no thank you" With Hayworth in the movie no one will look at me. I'm glad he bowed out because I cant imagine Gilda without Ford.
This movie is pure film noir gold a must have for any movie buff.
Movie Review: a femme fatale from the forties, frozen forever on film
Summary: 5 Stars
I am in my 50's and was born and raised in the '50s. My father used to tell me that, in the '40s, he had "fallen in love" with the actress Rita Hayworth from watching her movies. I didn't get it.
Flash forward to the new millenium. In David Lynch's enigmatic and erotic masterpiece "Mulholland Drive", a beautiful brunette amnesiac sees a movie poster of "Gilda", starring Rita Hayworth, on a bathroom wall and spontaneously takes the name "Rita" for herself. Why? Was there any significance or meaning in that choice of movie posters?...that choice of names? You bet your sweet sex goddess there was!
David Lynch knew what my father knew: Rita Hayworth was a hottie to men returning from World War II, and in "Gilda", it is captured for all time. Now I get it. Gilda is what did it. A "wild child" before the term was coined, Rita Hayworth radiates like a Chernobyl of sensuality.
See this movie and you'll find out what your grandfather, your father, David Lynch, and I found out!
