Friday night movie."Johnny Farrell goes to work for Ballin Mundson, the proprietor of an illegal gambling casino in a South American city and quickly rises to become Mundson's 'main man.' All is well until Mundson returns from a trip with his new bride, Gilda-- a woman from Johnny's past. Mundson, unaware of their previous love affair, assigns Farrell the job of keeping Gilda a faithful wife. Fraught with hatred, Gilda does her best to antagonize, intimidate, and instill jealousy in Farrell-- until circumstances allow him to get even."
For 1946, a good film. Script weak; then again, it was 1946. The acting is excellent.
An interested aside: Gilda Radner was named after this Gilda, according to Make 'em laugh: the funny business of America. (2008). Kantor, Michael& Laurence Maslon. Hachette: New York. pp. 238-239. [Wednesday, June 17, 2009 Delanceyplace.com 6/17/09 - Gilda Radner]
