Gilda (Criterion Collection) 04/26 Blu-ray (Rental)

“Gilda, are you decent?” Rita Hayworth tosses her hair back and slyly responds, “Me?” in one of the great star entrances in movie history. Gilda, directed by Charles Vidor, features a sultry Hayworth in her most iconic role, as the much-lusted-after wife of a criminal kingpin (George Macready), as well as the former flame of his bitter henchman (Glenn Ford), and she drives them both mad with desire and jealousy. An ever-shifting battle of the sexes set on a Buenos Aires casino’s glittering floor and in its shadowy back rooms, Gilda is among the most sensual of all Hollywood noirs. 4K UHD + BLU-RAY SPECIAL EDITION FEATURES New 4K digital restoration, with uncompressed monaural soundtrack One 4K UHD disc of the film presented in Dolby Vision HDR and one Blu-ray with the film and special features Audio commentary by film critic Richard Schickel Interview with film-noir historian Eddie Muller Program featuring filmmakers Martin Scorsese and Baz Luhrmann discussing their appreciation for Gilda “The Odyssey of Rita Hayworth,” a 1964 episode of the television show Hollywood and the Stars Trailer English subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing Plus: An essay by critic Sheila O’Malley
