Year: 1946
Director: Charles Vidor
Plot: When wealthy Ballin Mundson (George Macready) rescues down at his heels gambler Johnny Farrell (Glenn Ford) and invites him to the Buenos Aires casino he owns, both men get more than they wagered on. Farrell convinces Mundson to hire him as casino manager, but is shocked when Mundson introduces his new bride, and Farrell's old flame, Gilda (Rita Hayworth).Though Farrell is unwavering in his loyalty to his employer, and he and Gilda treat each other with contempt, Mundson realizes that the torch never died for either of the former lovers. Ordered to guard Gilda, Farrell tries to convince himself that he's protecting Mundson's interests, but Gilda sees through his self-deception. Meanwhile, Mundson reveals to Farrell that his primary business is control of an international tungsten cartel that he plans to use to further his fascist ends. With the police closing in on the cartel, Mundson fakes his death, apparently leaving Gilda and Farrell free to marry. They do so: Gilda for love, but Farrell to punish her for being unfaithful to Mundson. When Mundson returns to kill them, it is he who dies, thereby freeing the lovers to apologize to each other and return to the U.S. Charles Vidor's Gilda is a voyeuristic film noir treat that engages the viewer in a complex web of sado-masochistic triangles. When, for example, Gilda performs her signature number, "Put the Blame on Mame," she is not simply enraging both Mundson and Farrell with her open sexuality, she is also crying out in pain for the love she is being denied. ~ Steve Press, All Movie Guide

Body: We're throwing caution to the wind and hoping for a windfall this week. There's a reason Las Vegas is such a popular destination: the strippers and all you can eat buffets are a distant second to the lure of taking a chance on the endless stream of slot machines, roulette wheels and poker tables where a single stroke of luck can bring you unimaginable riches (or at least pay for a go at the buffet later). I've always loved those smokey gambling dens of iniquity where the liquor is cheap and so are the woman such as those in The Big Sleep, Gilda, and Dick Tracy. The dangerous illegal gambles where life is on the line are also rather intriguing like in the inconceivably funny The Princess Bride, ultra realistic Intacto and historical accurate Barry Lyndon. Recently I've taken a liking to Texas Hold'em and movies such as Rounders, Ocean's 11, Casino Royale and My Blueberry Nights do the game justice (with losers like Lucky You and All In making a mockery of it). So what other movies are there about gambling / games of chance?

Body: M is probably the film that stands out as one of the great Expressionist films made. It's such a creative, thrilling film; something which surprised me when I first saw it years ago as I hadn't seen too many films pre-1950 and those that I had I couldn't really get a feeling for. Some of the noir films that I have loved and which embrace a certain amount of Expressionistic ideas are The Big Sleep, The Maltese Falcon, Gilda and Sunset Boulevard. Hitchcock utilized Expressionist techniques in pretty much all of his films: Psycho and Vertigo being my favorite. Aside from Batman and Batman Returns, which I LOVE, Dark City is another recent film that tried to recapture the overall feeling of an authentic German Expressionist film. Saving the best for last: Nosferatu. I just can't get enough of this movie and it gives me the willies every time I watch it. As I'm sure everyone who watches it describes it, it is hauntingly beautiful. Like M, the filmmaker combined such startling techniques with an interesting story and their power has not diminished in the decades since their initial release.

Body: Well, since it appears I picked another topic that nobody wants to talk about I'll just have to do the talking. Not the greatest movie ever made but a landmark film nonetheless, Showgirls made an impact by being one of the few NC-17 films to get a wide theatrical release. And of course it turned the innocent bookworm Jesse Spano from Saved By The Bell into a knife wielding nymphomaniac stripper. Another film that made a big splash was Striptease. Demi Moore showed just how good a mother in her thirties can look by exposing her recently enhanced assets to the world. Jessica Alba helped increase sales of chaps and lassos in Sin City. Natalie Portman showed up those critics of her work in the Star Wars prequels by showing some skin in Closer. Not the best adaptation of a Chuck Palahniuk novel, but Choke does have a number of choice scenes, one of which involving the main characters predilection for strip clubs. After remarking to one of the exotic dancers that blondes have a higher chance of skin cancer and that one of her moles should get checked out, said stripper returns next time with her hair dyed brown and thanks him for telling her the thing about blondes. Ha ha ha. Pecker taught me what muff and tea-bagging was. Thanks John Waters! And lastly, Gilda with Rita Hayworth showing just how sexy stripping can be without removing hardly any clothes at all.

Body: Che director Steven Soderbergh recently told Anne Thompson that his eyebrow-raising 3D musical about Cleopatra is going to be tonally inspired by Gilda, King Vidor’s 1946 noir starring Rita Hayworth. Which is … interesting. Obviously, Gilda is not really a musical. Hayworth performs a couple of memorable numbers in the film, such as the “Put The Blame on Mame” scene above, but these numbers don’t musicalize the narrative or advance the plot within the number, as much as they comment on the subtext of the relationships. The performances themselves (particularly in the case of “Mame”) become plot points, and they’re only naturalized within the non-musical narrative because the Gilda character is a professional nightclub singer. The vampy (yet cheery!) performance style is dictated by the fact that the character is using her stage persona to say things that she can’t put into words in a normal conversation. It’s difficult to imagine what Soderbergh means when he suggests that he’s going to apply this tone to the story of Cleopatra. Does he simply mean his characters will sing their feelings while the book tells the story? Or is he actually going to try to duplicate that staginess literally, maybe by going for the Chicago “It’s all a fantasy!” gambit, which would allow an Egyptian queen to have an active inner life as a chorus girl? Regardless of which way it swings or what he really means, it’s hard to imagine anything taken from Gilda being directly compatible with the music of Guided by Voices who, according to Variety, have already written the songs (sometime GbV bassist Jim Greer also wrote the screenplay). I imagine that once Hugh Jackman and Catherine Zeta-Jones get their jazz hands on the material it won’t look or sound much like the defiantly lo-fi and often inscrutable Guided by Voices of old (see below), but in this time of global turmoil I’d rather just bunker up with my memories of the 90s until the inevitable disappointment is shoved in my face.

Body: A film-noir classic focused around a wonderfully bizarre love triangle between a gambler, his boss (a front for a Nazi cartel) and his boss' wife (who is also the gamblers ex-lover). On the surface Gilda is all about the strikingly beautiful Rita Hayworth, but if you can manage to detach your eyes from her hourglass figure and take a look under the hood you'll witness a strikingly strong story built on male self-loathing, misogyny and a fear of liberated female sexuality. Fans of The Shawshank Redemption will remember the famous Hayworth/Gilda poster image, you need to see this film if it's the last thing you do.

Body: Fleshbot recently pointed to Vintage Girly Magazines, a blog which hosts nothing but vintage (apparently mostly from the 40s-60s) pin-ups and striptease videos, where I found a clip from a series called Hollywood Funtime! One particular clip, called “Red-Headed Riot,” features a dancer who looks a lot like Rita Hayworth, who even seems to be mimicking Hayworth’s famous hair flip from Gilda. Of course, in Gilda, Hayworth does a song and dance number at a club, during which she removes her gloves and tosses them to the crowd, and at the end of which she says, “I’m not very good at zippers,” and invites men in the audience to come help her out. This gets as far as two volunteers actually rushing the stage, before Gilda is ushered away. Maybe something like “Red-Headed Riot” is the wish fulfillment extension of that scene??????the fantasy of what Gilda/Hayworth would have shown/done of she hadn’t been stopped by the Production Code in the form of a narrative device. I’ve tried and failed to find more information about Hollywood Funtime, but I wonder: was the series sort of a precursor to the contemporary trend of using Hollywood films as the takeoff point for quasi-narrative porn (ie: Pulp Friction, Lady Scarface)? If any of you vintage porn aficionados have an answer, let us know. In the meantime, “Red-Headed Riot” (which is not explicit at all, but still probably not safe for work) lives here, and you can compare it to the above fan montage from Gilda. Vintage Girly Magazines also has at least one early short directed by Joe Sarno, Andrew Sarris’ favorite sexploitation auteur of the 60s and 70s. Originally posted on:SpoutBlog » karina
