Movie Reviews of Gilda

Movie Review: SEXY RITA HAYWORTH
Summary: 5 Stars

As a young man I want to write a few words about the film "Gilda". The film was made decades before my time. I do like old films when they are good. "Gilda" as such did impress me less by its contents, but I was completely fascinated by the beauty and sex-appeal of the ravishing beautiful Rita Hayworth. One ca really feel her charisma and sensuality and it shows clearly, why men at that time were completely bewitched by her. In "Gilda" she appears so seductive sexy , so temperamental and yet so unapproachable in her beauty. All this is rather unusual for the prudish America of that epoch.

Movie Review: Gilda - 5 stars aren't enough
Summary: 5 Stars

In real life, Rita Hayworth was apparently "painfully shy". If so, she deserves the title, "Goddess of Acting" to go with her "Goddess of Love" nickname. Her performance as Gilda is lots of things, none of which is shy. She's off-scale beautiful/wild and shows, once again, why she was Fred Astaire's favorite dance partner (sorry, Ginger).

Glen Ford, as Johnny, plays a complex bundle of inconsistencies in regards to Gilda and makes it believable. There's an underlying theme of self-destruction by the principles in this "film noir" (black film), but it has a good twist at the end.

Movie Review: Put The Blame On Mame!
Summary: 5 Stars

I just watched this movie last night and I LOVED it! I think that 'Chinatown' got a lot of it's inspiration from this movie...if you liked 'Chinatown', you'll love 'Gilda'! This movie is probably the quintessential femme fatale film noir. The dialouge is awesome. It's so film noir! Rita Hayworth is wonderful in this movie. This is probably her best film. The costumes are very nice. Even the guys dress cool in this film! This is one of the best film noir movies ever made-- it's right up there with 'Double Indemnity' and 'Matlese Falcon'! WATCH THIS MOVIE!

Movie Review: !!!!! Sigh....
Summary: 5 Stars

Gilda is a pretty average, or at least an odd, film in the noir genre. Really. But there are some moments in film that make a movie worth a million bucks for that shining few seconds. And Rita Hayworth's Put the Blame on Mame number is that classic moment that can never ever be forgotten. Its an image that has rocked the world for almost sixty years. And somewhere out there are still many weary old men who still feel a faint stirring when they think about that satin doll. I suspect it will be that way for generations to come.

Movie Review: "Flamin' Mamie"
Summary: 5 Stars

Even if you do not watch any of the rest of this movie, the Rita Hayworth singing "Put the Blame on Mame, Boys" scene is worth five or more stars. She is absolutely beautiful, perfect in sensuality. Her gown is a dream. Her flawless skin, white teeth, and cascading volumes of hair--what woman would not want to look like that? Gilda is a perfect name for her. I do remember Glen Ford being very dark and charismatic in the film also and the tension heightened by their love/hate relationship.
Gilda IS this noir movie.
