This film is a masterpiece in the sense that it makes you want more. More of this Noirish world. I've had my Gilda's. Hated me and I hated them. But it was what passes for the world as "Love". They cut off the enter sign to hurt us both. This perfectly describes this relationship. The Movie, step by step. She hates him so much that she will bring them both down. So true. Who in the world was able to describe this in a story. Come to find out, it was a a show, designed to destroy self and him, destroy the memory of what might have been theirs, wow. How could anyone write this all into a drama. Amazing. No wonder the Prince Rita wound up with wanted her to be Gilda.
