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.
