Rita Hayworth created her Hollywood "Love Goddess" legend in this tailormade romantic drama, the first of several sex-charged pairings with costar Glenn Ford. The amazing sexual symbolism slipped past the censors (and most viewers) at the time; today the film is regarded as one of the greatest examples of a director "working around" the Production Code. (Note courtesy of the Film Noir Foundation.) DIR Charles Vidor; SCR Marion Parsonnet, Jo Eisinger, from the story by E.A. Ellington; PROD Virginia Van Upp. U.S., 1946, b&w, 110 min. NOT RATED
