GILDA (1946) - ♦♦♦♦

Directed by - Charles Vidor

Written by - E.A. Ellington, Jo Eisinger, Marion Parsonnet, Ben Hecht

Starring - Rita Hayworth, Glenn Ford, George Macready, Joseph Cotten

"A small time hood employed by a mobster club-owner whom he befriends is shaken when the same owner introduces him to his new fiancé, the woman he loved long ago. There is nothing particularly impressive about the story itself. Yet, this film carries one of the best examples of sexual tension, shared here by Glenn Ford and Rita Hayworth, the latter at her most iconic as the titular character that has become a symbol of the noir genre."
