Curtis H “Gilda” was certainly a delightful experience. Rita Hayworth was mesmerizing to watch on screen as a femme fatale. She was most definitely the backbone of the film, and I would say she is the main reason to watch the film alone. “Gilda” had a lot of great moments, as every scene with Rita Hayworth was entertaining to watch, and her performance acts were also very enjoyable. Ballin Mundson, played by George MacReady, was a very intriguing character, and I enjoyed his dialogues with Johnny, played by Glenn Ford, and Gilda. However, it becomes quite evident to the viewer that the director, Charles Vidor, had no say in the ending of the film. The shoehorn “happy ending” really did hurt “Gilda” in my eyes, as the direction seemed forced and completely out of place. Johnny was also a horribly manipulative character and his actions were incredibly frustrating to watch. As the main character of the film, I found him to be rather mundane and inconsistent throughout. Even with the, for lack of a better word, unfortunate ending and its inconsistencies, I’d say that “Gilda” is still worth a watch. I’d give it a 7.5/10. It’s not perfect, but it does have a lot going for it. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 07/08/25 Full Review Will G This was a fantastic noir film. Rita Hayworth gave a great performance. This movie had drama, crime, and romance. Most of it took place at a bar. There was a party for carnival. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/29/24 Full Review T B They say Casablanca is the greatest movie love story of all time. I disagree, it's overrated, i just finished watching Gilda the 1946 movie starring Rita Hayworth and Glen Ford, Rita Hayworth and Glen Ford give incredible performances. Just about every scene is perfect, i was thoroughly mesmerized by Rita Hayworth, i have never seen a more beautiful woman, a woman who can act and dance. She and Ford made the movie by their brilliant performances. All the secondary actors were great to, as well as the director. The movie was excellently directed. I was never bored once while watching this movie. Watch Casablanca and then Gilda, then you will know what i mean. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/01/24 Full Review helder f It’s a very good movie. The story unfolds somewhat slowly but the story is secondary; there a few twists but what prevails in this movie are the characters who are eye catching for most the movie. Rita Hayworth does a great job in all her sensuous display without ever being tiring or annoying- which is a great accomplishment. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/07/24 Full Review Ed M A flawless movie. I would compare it to "Body Heat" in some respects. Glenn Ford is perfect, and definitely not what I expected. Rita Hayworth steals the show, as her conflicted emotions ooze thru every sexy scene. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 10/31/24 Full Review Georgan G The insane film noir plot keeps me guessing, and every character is well acted. Rita dances her way into a classic, with amazing clothes in every scene. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/05/24 Full Review Read all reviews
