I'm the sensitive cop that goes around giving relationship advice and has a good time watching all the drama unfold rather than do his job and arrest eveyone the minute he walks into the casino
Rita Hayworth was so beautiful and charismatic in this entry into the MATCU (men are terrible cinematic universe.)
all the scenes with rita hayworth >>>>>>>>>>> all the scenes without rita hayworth
"By the way, about that time the war ended" is such a perfect encapsulation of every noir ever, pretending that its relationship to WWII is casual or incidental when really it’s everything.
rita hayworth is so hot i thought i was gonna catch fire just from looking at her
Rita Hayworth.
Need a reason to watch this? Rita Hayworth.
Are there other reasons? No. Not really.
I was introduced to this film via Shawshank, and that scene, you know the scene, sits quite comfortably on top of all others in Gilda. It really is something.
Straight women must get absolutely nothing out of this....
Glenn Ford is particularly unbearable as Johnny. The smirking-like-Jerry Seinfeld, misogynistic little twerp of a protagonist, also responsible for the awful narration.
And then there's the plot......wtf? Tungsten, world domination, nazis, spies, a cop that looks to be more interested in grooming his moustache than capturing criminals, tedious song numbers, the melodramatic will they won't they, ahh, who gives a shit really story and a flat ending.
Revisited after so many years.. a clear influence on Scorsese’s “Casino”(which actually was based on a true account)..
watching all these films all over again , one can clearly see the difference in writing then and now. Then the writing had more character and life and challenged the moral compass. Now it’s mostly craft taught at the film schools, then it was literature , and now it’s mathematics.
