Put The Blame On Mame - Gilda (1946) 

The actress was once asked why she married so many times. She answered: “Well, all my husbands thought they were getting Gilda. Then they found out it was only me.”

My old grandmother used to say that Rita's dress was held up by confidence and nothing else!

"You can't be sexy stripping off just one glove" Rita: Hold my liquor.

She is Queen of the hair toss. That scene was beyond acting. Rita Hayworth was fully present in that character.

Her hair is EVERYTHING

The artistry behind this performance always blows my mind. Rita was such a beautiful, talented human being and it is heartbreaking how life treated her. Life is a dangerous place.

To think her taking off her gloves was incredibly controversial! Magnificent scene

one of the best song scenes in Hollywood history

Real life Jessica Rabbit.

Hollywood doesn't produce people like Rita Hayworth anymore.

She sends chills down your spine by just taking her gloves off....

Rita's hair is terrific here...

This is when ladies had class. Can’t take your eyes off her. She puts you in a trance. Gorgeous

Movies will never again look as good as they did in the middle 20th century, as this scene so clearly shows. Rita looks superior to just about anyone else on earth, doesn't she? Make-up, costumes, lighting, sets...

This scene is iconic & Rita is simply DIVINE in this scene….not one mistake & she’s naturally gorgeous!! The camera loves her.💞

The fact that Gilda was actually a broken woman at this moment of the movie makes this scene even greater!

This has to be one of the most glamorous scenes in movie history. Movie goddess. Rita.

Respect at her femininity!!!!!!!

The sexiest scene in movie history.

it's almost impossible to believe ANYONE WAS THAT INCREDIBLY BEAUTIFUL , THANK GOD FOR FILM !

Gosh, I've never seen anyone so beautiful! Her voice is beautiful too, very soft and clear. And her smile is just gorgeous! A smile like that just shows confidence, which is something real women have. No celebrity today, or in any time for that matter could carry a smile that beautifully. She looks like she's having a lot of fun performing too. I love it!

Everything about this woman was perfect. She was ahead of time

SHE WAS AND UNTIL TODAY IT´S THE MOST BEATIFULL ACTRESS OF THE ALL HOLLYWOOD CINEMA. 🤩🤩😍🤩😍🥰

How some people put 'dislike' for this video.. she's precious 💖

Not only she moved in a natural, charming way, but her voice was so clear and melodic, it puts me to the mood of what she is singing about. Contemporary singers could learn from scenes like this one.

My God, were there any other women in the room? Impossible to take your eyes off of her even for a moment for fear of missing the slightest move. Her beauty transends time. That era this era , nothing is lost. She embodies feminine beauty completely. Star Quality in spades!!!!

I love how MJ was including this in his this is it final tour as an opening to smooth criminal.watch the this is it movie and you'll see how they put him in it along with Monroe James dean etc.mj catches her glove and Monroe notices him and ask what is he doing there which leads to a chase.

I like old black and white movies and Rita was a great dancer and great actress, women had a gift.

Rita...real beauty from the golden era...

It doesn't get any more 1940s than this.

My mom sang this a lot, often as a song before bed, along with other songs of the era. Love this song.

I first saw this in my late teens, I was blown away. Superb. Absolutely superb. She is one of the universes greatest gifts!

have you ever seen someone so beautiful, so sensual and that has the voiuce of an angel? ahe is absolutely gorgeous and she will alway stay in our hearts just like this.Thank you to a dear friend that remiminded me how much I like her growing up and I won't forget her her, and I will keep her in my mind and my heart thinking of her just like this:) hugs, Angela

Rita's so gorgeous and so talented. I love how her hair always falls back into place when she swings it wish mine would do that!😂 You can tell the idea for Marilyn Monroes diamonds are a girls best friend scene was inspired by this!

When they had the earthquake in San Francisco Back in nineteen-six They said that ol' Mother Nature Was up to her old tricks That's the story that went around But here's the real low-down Put the blame on Mame, boys Put the blame on Mame One night she started to shimmy-shake That brought on the Frisco quakes So you can put the blame on Mame, boys Put the blame on Mame

Michael Jackson used this scene in his this is it smooth criminal video. So astonishing Rita Hayworth, such an icon.

That smile...................................... unforgettable!

A classic here, even though Rita was dubbed by Anita Ellis she still did a great job in this movie and Anita did a great job with the song

I read that this musical number was filmed with just two takes. You would never guess that Rita was pregnant during the filming of Gilda. Rita's daughter looks just like Rita, but you never see her other children in the media I wonder of they look like her too? I was shocked to read that Princess Yasmin's father, Prince Aly Khan died in a car accident around 1960. Thank you for posting the breathtaking beauty of Rita Hayworth !

Hayworth at her peak! Nothing comes close - before or after. She was as great a sex symbol as Marilyn but somehow more subtle and restrained. I love Monroe but I think that Hayworth was more refined.

excellent!!! no words can describe how great she was, she is and she will.

Is it possible to be more beautiful and wonderful?😮🥰

Rita Hayworth in her prime. Great performance from the movie Gilda.

And she only did this scene in two takes. Probably the most famous dance number of her career and her entrance in Gilda is equally the most famous moment of her career. She also did that scene in two takes - only a costume change, with the second winning (I'd love to have that nightgown! Rita's outfits always looked really comfortable).

They once had a shootin' up in the Klondike When they got Dan McGrew Folks were putting the blame on The lady known as Lou That's the story that went around But here's the real low-down Put the blame on Mame, boys Put the blame on Mame Mame did a dance called the hoochy-coo That's the thing that slew McGrew So you can put the blame on Mame, boys Put the blame on Mame

..NO COMMENT!..HER SOUL IS SO BEAUTIFUL DEEPLY...SHE'S A CHARM!..

Such a beauty ♥️ she’s one of those stars that seems so unattainable and untouchable in her elegance and beauty. Absolutely love Rita!

L'attrice più bella di tutti i tempi. Nessuno poi balla come lei!! FANTASTICA RITA

This dance was so unique back then.. and now!!

Que atriz linda e que performance no palco. A eterna Gilda. Pouquíssimas atrizes na atualidade tem o perfil de uma Rita Hayworth.

I've never seen any woman remove her gloves like Rita did here........

Bella, hermosa...cuando existía el glamour...linda época y que actriz madre mía...inolvidable Rita cómo Gilda ❤️❤️❤️adorable

This scene is kind of historic beyond its place in Hollywood noir legend. Glenn Ford's first sight of 'Gilda' also marks the beginning of possibly Tinseltown's longest running secret affair. They would make five pictures together and were 'friends with benefits', in between Rita's multiple marriages, until she began to lose her mind. Ironic that Ford here plays a bisexual, seemingly the pet of George Macready. Ford was too hetero for his own good. His image was Mr Ordinary Outdoorsman, but in reality he was a compulsive romeo- c. 150 conquests recorded meticulously in his diaries, says his son and biographer Peter Ford. Rita, the #1 glamour girl of the mid-40s, was his biggest victory, though their affection endured. Ford had only been back from the war for a year, starting life as a husband and father with Eleanor Powell, when 'Gilda' was cast. After his heroically forgiving and pious wife finally tired of his tomcatting and divorced him in 1959, he moved into a luxurious bachelor pad near his marital mansion on Cove Way in Beverly Hills. His new address was next to... Rita, who sold him the site. Eleanor and Peter could not afford to keep up the family home on the alimony squeezed from him (he was also cheap) and had to sell in the end. Ford remained in Bev Hills until he declined- in body, not in mind like Hayworth- and had to have round-the-clock nursing care, bullied and looted by his nurses. What a fate for the two glittering stars of 'Gilda'! He deserved his karma more than she did hers.

Stunning yesterday and today!!! Epic amazing scene!!💃🏿💃🏿

beautiful face, beautiful smile, beautiful voice...old Hollywood movies are so magical

71 años han pasado, yo tengo 21 todavia no se ha superado esta escena.

Beyond beautiful.

Nessuna ha più avuto questo fascino .la ricordo con ammirazione !!

Eu já perdi a conta de quantas vezes eu assistir a este vídeo... Rita Hayworth foi uma força da natureza , eu amo essa mulher!

Anita Ellis, one of the best jazz voices... Rita, great dancer !!

One of my all time fav scenes‼️ She ate this and left no crumbs💪🏾💪🏾❤️

WOW! What a beautiful person. Simply gorgeous.

Unforgettable Rita Hayworth. Goddess forever and ever,

The dislikes are jealous women or jealous men.

It's a classic. This clip will go on forever.....

Beautiful woman...underrated as actress unfortunately. Sempre Viva !!

Hollywood also kept it a secret that '40s movie goddess Rita Hayworth didn't do her own singing. She may have been Fred Astaire's favorite dance partner, her singing voice was less than satisfactory. It was Nan Wynn who sang the standards "I'm Old-Fashioned" and "Long Ago and Far Away" in the films "You Were Never Lovelier" and "Cover Girl," and Anita Ellis who performed the hot "Put the Blame on Mame" for Hayworth in the box-office hit "Gilda."

I like how he translated the bravo so I could understand it.

And this is Buenos Aires! ❤

OMG her hair I want to do mine like that but I don't know how :'(

I love this song more than anything❤️❤️❤️

Ascoltai questa canzone per la prima volta nel 1948,a cinema.Non avevo ancora 7 anni. Nel film,Gilda,figurava anche Amado mio.Mi piacquero entrambe enormemente.Oggi le ascolto con un pizzico di nostalgia.

Ví Gilda hace pocos años... esta escena fué perturbadora para varias generaciones... hahaha!!! Rita Hayworth y Glenn Ford eran una pareja mágica!!!

Very beautiful

She is stunning Beautiful jun 18 /18

She truly was a gorgeous woman.

Love love love Gilda .. Rita hayworth is truly a goddess 💕 Can’t take my 👀 off her .

oh i remember now how much i loved her after watched Gilda :))

I adore this scene

She's so gorgeous!

Such a graceful beauty

I first became aware of Liz Taylor's truly otherworldly beauty after seeing her with Montgomery Clift and Shelley Winters in "A Place in the Sun". There are a couple of scenes in that film that capture her exquisite face in a way that I've rarely seen matched -for sheer feminine beauty on the silver screen-in any other movie.

Rita Hayworth: "Men went to bed with Gilda and woke up with me."

I would have loved to be in a theatre back in 1946 during this scene. I can imagine the gasps in the audience when she does the hair toss.

Yes indeed Sir !!! You're right. That's what a movie star should look like.

fantastic!!

Bravisimo.y preciosa mujer......

Love that hair 🥰

I watched this movie last night it was so good

Such class... what a queen....

Rita was her most beautiful in this scene in Gilda. The most beautiful of them all even Liz Taylor or Marilyn

Rita Hayworth is simply wonderful and the talented Anita Ellis gave her the beautiful voice.

Um clássico !!! Com a lendária Rita Raywort. A mais sensual, bela e intrigante das hollywoodianas. Pbs pela postagem, abs...

apples and oranges old bean.Rita was vivacious and confident in her sexuality whereas Marilyn was sultry yet vulnerable.Two completely different women:both amazingly beautiful.

A classic.

Wonderful voice too, so smooth 😍

La donna più bella del mondo

Que velleza de mujer, una de las actrices americanas más impresionantes de la historia
