Fiery chemistry between Rita Hayworth and Glenn Ford propel this film noir about love triangles, casinos, tungsten cartels, and even Nazis.

This would have been a superb movie if it wasn't for all the sexism in it. Fortunately, there weren't many scenes with it, so there was still plenty of awesome left in the movie.

"Gilda" by Yojimbo

Gambler Glenn Ford is torn between ex lover Rita Hayworth and his loyalty to the friend he owes his life to leading to one of the most dysfunctional romances ever to grace the silver screen! Hayworth is absolutely stunning as the manipulative seductress and the on screen chemistry between her and Ford is the main reason why this film works. Their love-hate interplay is fantastic and the way your sympathies shift from one to the other is very nicely done. Unfortunately I found the plot little more than window dressing that is thoroughly overshadowed by the leading couple, and it all resolved itself a little too easily for me. But there are some really nice visual touches using light and shadow, thoroughly in keeping with the great tradition of Film Noir and it's certainly worth the time …
