Cinema Rediscovered: Gilda
Screenings
- 17th November 2024 - 5:45 PMCinema Rediscovered presents the classic noir Gilda (1946) starring Rita Hayworth.
Screening in glorious 4K, Gilda is a sumptuous film noir that stamped Rita Hayworth's name forever in film stardom. Are you decent?
Gilda (Hayworth) is introduced to Glenn Ford’s casino manager Johnny Farrell by her new husband, casino owner Ballin Mundson (George Macready). Unbeknownst to Mundson, the two already know each other as former lovers. With shady goings on at the casino, many of them way beyond Farrell’s paygrade, events start to come to a head.
Directed by Charles Vidor (A Farewell to Arms), Gilda remains supremely watchable, with Rita Hayworth igniting the screen with a performance that ensures it remains an iconic classic. Few entrances in movie history are as memorable.
The 6.00pm screening on Fri 15 Nov will be introduced by QFT Audience Development Assistant, Lauren McCune.
"Examples of film noir don’t come much headier or more perverse than Charles Vidor’s sultry little number." - Tim Robey, The Telegraph
