Gilda (1946)
5/10
Not really intriguing.

My bad, my bad! I'm writing my review after having visionated only a little bit more than half of the movie! I know, this is not very fair, I admit. Social media and similar machines bestow to everyone the right to write whatever one thinks, regardless of its relevance. It's free speech, and at the same time it's a problem. Anyway, I will not bother you for more than a few seconds' reading.

Cryptic dialogues from the beginning: one never knows what are they really talking about. Innuendos never solved, and I hadn't the patience to drag to the end to see (maybe) the resolution of such hints. Dialogues that could hardly happen in real life, and not even in the best of fantasy or sci-fi movies, where King Kong destroying Tokyo is made absolutely believable.

She (Gilda, Rita Hayworth), with her constantly mocking look, is thorouglhy false and utterly unlikable. He (Johnny Farrell, Glenn Ford) is slightly less so. And they are the two most agreeable characters in the entire movie! I really couldn't get through. My bad!
