We were very excited to make this episode discussing two iconic movies by Rita Hayworth. Gilda (1946) with its sensuous musical number performed by Rita in a strapless ballroom gown with long gloves, is for many the most iconic and beautiful moment of the golden age of Hollywood. The second film, The Lady from Shanghai (1947), directed by and starring Rita’s then husband Orson Welles, is the epitome of Film Noir and also turned the appearance of Rita Hayworth on its head when she dyed her famous red hair blonde. We hope you enjoy hearing this episode as much as we enjoyed making it.
