Gilda (1946)
Director: Charles Vidor
Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
Ford plays a drifting gambler who gets adopted by a German casino owner (Macready) in Buenos Aires, only to become embroiled in a misogynistic ménage-à-trois with the German and his wife (Hayworth). The script is laced with innuendoes and euphemisms; and Ford finds himself as a character whose sexual attributes are not only ambiguous, but bordering on the perverse as his misogyny gradually gains the upper hand. Never has the fear of the female been quite so intense; and the themes that took wing in this extraordinary piece of cinema finally came to roost in such sexual noirs as Carnal Knowledge and Last Tango in Paris.Author: GSa
