Thank you for the heads up!

You're welcome! Great cover art, too. The picture was on TCM today and only made us want the Criterion release more!

Wow, TCM shows "Gilda" a lot. Not that I'm complaining.

As TCM Guest Programmers both Joan Collins and Diahann Carroll picked Gilda as one of their top movie choices.

It does seem like a TCM favorite. 

Drew Barrymore picked it as one of her "Essentials" too.

Been on Get TV a lot, also.
Criterion release sounds good.

I just got my copy last week. Agree, it's worth it. The film looks fantastic. I enjoyed the "Odyssey of Rita Hayworth" documentary, too, although I'd seen it on youtube. I appreciate those clips from some of Hayworth's hard to find B movies.

Folks who don't think there's a gay subplot in the movie will not enjoy Eddie Muller's commentary, though. LOL

The PBS station in Philadelphia, whyy, showed Gilda tonight.
