"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 r "

"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. "

"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 fail ... "
