Gilda - Charles Vidor (1946)

He decidido recuperar una sección de mi blog que, por alguna razón que ahora no recuerdo, decidí eliminar de mi blog. Se trata de la sección de “Momentos de cine”, una mirada fugaz a las a escenas o fragmentos memorables de la historia del cine que habitan en nuestra retina.

Para este primer post, he querido publicar un fragmento archiconocido de Gilda. Se trata de la actuación de Rita Hayworth cantando “Put the blame on Mame” y el posterior bofetón de Glenn Ford. Espero que disfrutéis recordándola.

When they had the earthquake in San Francisco back in 1906,
they said that old mother nature was up to her old tricks.
That’s the story that went around, but here’s the real lowdown.

Put the blame on Mame, boys.
Put the blame on Mame.

One night she started to shim and shake.
That brought on the `Frisco quake.
So you can…

Put the blame on Mame, boys.
Put the blame on Mame.

They once had a shootin’ up in the Klondike when they got Dan McGrew.
Folks were puttin’ the blame on the lady known as Lew.
That’s the story that went around, but here’s the real lowdown.

Put the blame on Mame, boys.
Put the blame on Mame.

Mame did a dance called the Hichy-koo.
That’s the thing that slew McGrew.

Put the blame on Mame, boys.
Put - the - blame - on - Mame.
