Gilda Overview:
Gilda (1946) was a Film Noir - Drama Film directed by Charles Vidor and produced by Virginia Van Upp.
SYNOPSIS
This is the film that gave the world the indelible image of Hayworth in that tight gown, lovingly removing that long glove as she sings "Put the Blame on Mame." That's enough to justify a viewing, but the film has more, including a bewitched, bothered, etc. performance by Ford. An intricate noir in which Hayworth, as the titular femme fatale, is placed by her mobster club-owner husband in the care of Ford, a small-time hood who also happens to be her ex-lover.

.Gilda was inducted into the National Film Registry in 2013.

Facts about
The movie's poster was as #6 of "The 25 Best Movie Posters Ever" by Premiere.
There is a rumour that this film is the only time you hear Rita Hayworth's real singing voice but it is sadly not true. According to the bonus features from the DVD, Rita actually never recorded her own singing voice and was a talented lip-syncher. Anita Ellis dubbed almost all of her singing in "Gilda." Rita always wanted to do her own singing, and Columbia Pictures chief Harry Cohn paid for her voice lessons, but she never developed a voice he considered strong enough to be used, and Rita remained bitter about that for the rest of her life.
