May 6, 2020 · After a party at the casino, Mundson leaves town and he trusts Johnny to be in charge during his absence. When Mundson returns, he invites Johnny to his house. Johnny is shocked when he is introduced to Mundson’s new bride. Her name is Gilda and it becomes clear that she was an old flame of Johnny.
Certainly, Gilda is a prisoner in her marriage to the casino-owning industrialist Ballin Mundson (George Macready), but the other man in her life, Johnny Farrell (Glenn Ford) is if anything the prison guard. This means that even though they may be rivals for Gilda's attention, they both at least agree on the need to imprison her for no good reason.

Feb 21, 2024 · In the last scene Johnny and Gilda make up but are interrupted by Mundson, he faked his death and has returned to kill them both. The casino clerk Uncle Pio (Steven Geray) comes to the rescue and kills Mundson. Johnny and Gilda get to be together after all. This movie is most famous for one thing, Rita Hayworth as Gilda.
Nov 21, 2019 · Gilda is a beautiful film. Each scene positively reeks with glamour and the sets are decked out to the nines. I love the marble, grand staircase in Gilda’s home, the gates outside her home, and the swirling and leaf motifs in the casino. As for the costumes? They were designed by the amazing Jean Louis and fit the bill perfectly.
Jan 21, 2016 · Although Gilda shows Johnny’s quick rise to casino manager, trading his messy duds for a tuxedo, the crouch on the floor hovers around the character like an afterimage, picked up on by everyone, especially the washroom attendant who clocks Johnny as a “peasant.”
When it seems that Ballin has committed suicide, Johnny takes both the casino and Gilda. What seems to be mutual hate contaminates Gilda and Johnny's relationship to the point that Gilda becomes his prisoner. The viewer cannot imagine a happy ending for all this, but one does take place.
In the casino lobby before dinner, Johnny mentions that he has seen evidence at the roulette wheel that Mundson is allowing for bribes or winnings ("payoffs") to keep a short-statured blackmailer (Saul Martell, credited as Little Man") quiet - for some unknown reason.
