Rita Hayworth in Gilda (1946)
She is perfect !
The Shawshank Redemption and Notting Hill both reference this movie. I still haven’t seen it, but after seeing this gifset I watched the scene on YouTube.
I think I prefer the gif version. Here she seems like a free spirit. But in the YouTube clip she’s immediately (physically) punished for her transgression.
I dunno. I’m still lacking context. I’m not sure what I expected from 1946 Hollywood. One of the compelling things about Tumblr and fan culture generally is that I can construct an AU version congenial to my imagination. Which I can still do. But I think I want to watch the movie now, even though noir isn’t usually my thing, just so I have a better sense of how divergent my headcanon is.
