Description

Gilda (Columbia, 1946). Australian One Sheet (27" X 40").
For film noir or Rita Hayworth devotees, this very rare Australian one sheet is a remarkable find. With similar artwork to other posters from the film, this one features the sizzling Hayworth in her famous form fitting Jean Louis strapless gown, coyly dangling a cigarette, the ultimate femme fatale. It's a smoldering tale of passion and betrayal with Hayworth and Glenn Ford as two former lovers brought together through ties to a South American casino owner. Hayworth steams up the screen with an unforgettable performance of "Put the Blame on Mame" and Ford is as ornery as they come. This jaw-dropper presents like a jewel after careful restoration addressed pinholes in the corners, a tiny hole in the top border and in the image, and a very small strip in the top left corner edge has been replaced. Fine/Very Fine on Linen.
