i just watched this movie and dang it was so so good. one scene/shot i really loved was when Ballin was at his home talking to Johnny about Gilda and Ballin was drowned out in a shadow , beautiful shot.
The film Gilda captured Rita Hayworth at the peak of her beauty. Demi Moore wore the satin Gilda dress to an opening of a Planet Hollywood that she & Bruce Willis invested in back in the early 1990’s.I saw Gilda with my mother and when the scene where she wears the sparkly long evening coat came on I asked my mother how they could make sequins before the invention of plastic and she told me they used Mica. Rita still looks fantastic when she makes Pal Joey but there is an underlying sadness to her because she knows that film is her last musical being featured actor.
Rita Hayworth also influenced the times and style with her clothes and hair style here. I have a old passport of my mom from this time and she has my older brother on her knee and shes wearing that big hair style, and looking gorgeous ❤
