Movies Watched -- Gilda (1946)

Added on by C. Maoxian.

110 minute running time so at least 10 minutes too long. Weird one with no story really. Margarita Cansino is the “curvy bombshell” who lip synchs some songs and does a strip tease of sorts (skirting the old Hays Code with all the sexual innuendo) … just dumb, they try to make it thrilling by involving evil Germans, and a casino, and a tungsten cartel, and setting it in Buenos Aires, but it just isn’t, and the relationships make no sense … just another crappy studio movie from the 40s. Don’t see it.
