Gilda (1946)
SPOTLIGHTS
The Thief and the Cobbler: A Moment in Time Sun, Jun 16 | 11am | TMT Legendary animator Richard Williams ( Who Framed Roger Rabbit ) spent three decades developing his animated feature The Thief and the Cobbler , only to ultimately have it taken from his control, recut, and released by others without his approval. In 2013, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences first presented this “Moment in Time” restoration of Williams’s 1992 work print of the film, painstakingly reconstructed by the filmmaker and the Academy Film Archive. This version is the closest audiences have been to witnessing Williams’s original, dazzlingly imaginative and eclectic vision. Animation drawings and cels by Williams for The Thief and the Cobbler are currently on view in the museum’s Animation gallery, part of the Stories of Cinema exhibition. In conjunction with the works on view, the museum presents a screening of this work followed by a conversation with Senior Exhibitions Curator Jenny He and Assistant Curator Nicholas Barlow.

The dazzling Rita Hayworth again sees her name appear above the title in Charles Vidor’s noir classic, Gilda , which henceforth marked the redheaded screen sensation as Hollywood’s premier femme fatale. Hayworth electrifies in her first major dramatic role with Columbia as the titular Gilda opposite everyman Glenn Ford as crooked gambler Johnny Farrell, making his return to the screen after a four-year stint with the US Marine Corps during WWII. Developed with Hayworth in mind by the legendary “Queen of Columbia” Virginia Van Upp, who worked at the studio as a producer after a long career as a screenwriter, this Buenos Aires–set story of gambling, romance, infidelity, and revenge contains one of the most famous character introductions in the history of cinema. Made even more memorable thanks to elegant costuming by Jean Louis—who spared no expense with Hayworth’s iconic furs and gowns—the film is lensed to perfection by cinematographer Rudolph
