Description

Gilda, are you decent? Rita Hayworth (The Lady from Shanghai) tosses her hair back and slyly responds, Me? in one of the great star entrances in movie history. Gilda, directed by Charles Vidor (Cover Girl), features a sultry Hayworth in her most iconic role, as the much-lusted-after wife of a criminal kingpin (Paths of Glory s George Macready), as well as the former flame of his bitter henchman (3:10 to Yuma s 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. BLU-RAY SPECIAL EDITION FEATURES - New 2K digital restoration, with uncompressed monaural soundtrack - Audio commentary from 2010 by film critic Richard Schickel - New interview with film noir historian Eddie Muller - Appreciation of Gilda from 2010 featuring filmmakers Martin Scorsese and Baz Luhrmann - Rita Hayworth: The Columbia Lady, a 2000 featurette on Hayworth s career as an actor and dancer - Trailer - PLUS: An essay by critic Sheila O Malley

Roaring '20s songstress Ruth Etting had everything -- the looks, the wiles, the smokey jazz voice, the it. She also had Chicago racketeer Martin "The Gimp" Snyder, who, even as he propelled her career, afflicted her. Laced with Doris Day's vibrant performance of songs from the era, this 1955 Academy Award winner (Writing - Motion Picture Story) is based on the tough-minded tale of Etting's life with the man who boosted her career with strong-arm tactics and smothered her in an obsessive grip she escaped at great peril. As Snyder, Cagney earned of the film's six Oscar nominations. Day's Etting was a career-best dramatic performance, bringing acclaim from critics and protest letters from fans unprepared for the departure from her traditionally sunny roles.
