Gilda
Gilda is a 1946 American blackandwhite film noir directed by Charles Vidor and starring Rita Hayworth in her signature role as the ultimate femme fatale and Glenn Ford as a young thug. The film was noted for cinematographer Rudolph Mats lush photography, costume designer Jean Louis wardrobe for Hayworth particularly for the dance numbers, and choreographer Jack Coles staging of Put the Blame on Mame and Amado Mio, sung by Anita Ellis. In 2013, the film was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being culturally, historically or aesthetically significant.
One day, Mundson returns from a trip with a beautiful and spirited new wife, Gilda Rita Hayworth. It is immediately apparent that Johnny and Gilda have a history together, though both deny it when Mundson questions them. Johnny visits Gilda alone in the bedroom she shares with her husband, and the two have an explosive confrontation that elucidates both their past romantic relationship, which ended badly, and their lovehate dynamic. While it is unclear just how much Mundson knows of Gilda and Johnnys past relationship, he appears to be in ignorance when he assigns Farrell to keep an eye on Gilda. Johnny and Gilda are both consumed with their hatred of each other, as Gilda cavorts with men at all hours in increasingly more blatant efforts to enrage Johnny, and he grows more abusive and spiteful in his treatment of her.Mundson is visited by two German businessmen. Their secret organization had financed a tungsten cartel, with everything put in Mundsons name to hide their connection to it. However, when they decide it is safe to take over, Mundson refuses to transfer ownership to his backers. The Argentine secret police are interested in the Germans government agent Obregon Joseph Calleia introduces himself to Farrell to try to obtain information, but the American knows nothing about that aspect of Mundsons operations. When the Germans return later, Mundson kills one of them. ........
