SYNOPSIS
A single toss of her hair is all it takes to understand why Rita Hayworth became a legend. In 1940s Buenos Aires, an American gambler begins working for the owner of a sophisticated casino—until the arrival of the mesmerizing Gilda completely upends the balance between the two men. Charles Vidor crafts an explosive drama of desire, jealousy, resentment, and power that transcends the conventions of film noir. Elegant, provocative, and charged with tension, *Gilda* transformed Hayworth into one of Hollywood’s greatest icons and produced some of classic cinema’s most celebrated images.
