The dialogue is crackling, and Glenn Ford and Rita Hayworth are two of the hottest people ever to share a screen. Rita Hayworth’s hair deserves a character credit all of its own. But I really struggled keeping up with the motivations of the characters, which seemed to change from one scene to the next. One minute, Johnny is trying to stop Gilda cucking his boss, and the next minute he’s okay with her cucking him?

Sultry fun.
