The most amazing thing about this film is the number of excellent reviews. Granted its fun to watch Rita do a few numbers, and there are some nice noir touches. But the dialog is so incredibly lame, with Gilda mouthing Freudian nonsense and the threesome repeating ad nauseam that they hate one another, but love one another, then hate....The plot is imbecilic, the acting absurd, the love triangle preposterous, and the editing almost non existent. One could list these missteps but to what avail? If its film noir, you expect a lost of this B type stuff. But lets call a dame a dame, and not make more of her than she's worth. Its possible the film could have been redeemed somewhat if the ending had gone the way the film was heading, but I'm sure the Hollywood moguls stepped in to give it a happy ending, which finished off whatever merit the film had up to then.
