Gilda (#795)

Gilda, are you decent? Rita Hayworth tosses her hair back and slyly responds, Me? in one of the great star entrances in movie history.Gilda,directed by Charles Vidor, features a sultry Hayworth in her most iconic role, as the much-lusted-after wife of a criminal kingpin (George Macready), as well as the former flame of his bitter henchman (Glenn Ford), and she drives them both mad with desire and jealousy. An ever-shifting battle of the sexes set on a Buenos Aires casinos glittering floor and in its shadowy back rooms,Gildais among the most sensual of all Hollywood noirs.
