ΤΑΙΝΙΟΘΗΚΗ ΤΗΣ ΕΛΛΑΔΟΣ, ΜΙΚΡΗ ΛΕΣΧΗ (ΚΑΝΑΡΗ 1) - ΤΖΙΛΝΤΑ
The European audience was first introduced to GILDA as the official American entry for the first Cannes Festival in 1946 with Billy Wilder's "Lost weekend". The film is described as a landmark in the American "film noir" of the '40s and is seen as an opportunity for a retrospective of the genre which begins with John Huston's "The Maltese Falcon" in 1941 and culminates at the end of war in 1944 with films like Wilder's "Double Indemnity", Milestone's "A Strange Love of Martha Ivers", "Purple Heart", "Mildred Peers" etc.
GILDA is the high-water mark in the career of the Hungarian director Charles Vidor (1900-1959).
The outline of the plot is as follows: "Love, nostalgic tunes, mysterious spies and fortune hunters, gambling and Gilda, a femme fatale, played by Rita Hayworth, sings "Amado Mio", takes off her gloves in a sexually exciting way and gets slapped across the face by Glen Ford"
The review concludes with brief biographical notes on Rita Hayworth and refers to her as the most celebrated sex symbol of the '40s: "Her auburn hair, graceful body and long black gloves, Gilda became known as the sex bomb (aptly named after the atomic bomb dropped over Hiroshima)".
