GILDA

One Sheet (27" x 41"); Style B
Very Fine- on Linen
Columbia, 1946

Posters from this film are highly sought after for the lovely images of Ms. Hayworth, and this iconic Style B one sheet is particularly coveted in the hobby and is one of the Wow posters of the entire hobby! She stands provocatively and somewhat defiantly, cigarette in hand, head tilted to the side. We don't see this version of the one sheet often.

Professional restoration has addressed general fold wear touch-ups, with no tears within the images. Borders have been airbrushed. Before restoration, a tiny chip was in the upper right border corner, and the bottom border was folded back. There is a very faint bleed-through of the NSS stamp on the right border.

Coined "The Love Goddess" by the press, actress Rita Hayworth was best known for her performance in this layered noir picture. Playing a femme fatale of sorts, Hayworth solidified her status as a star in her first major dramatic role that also featured memorable musical numbers, charismatic costumes, and celebrated cinematography.
