Momentos de cine I: La silueta recortada de Gilda


Ella, Rita Hayworth, inaugura esta nueva sección del blog: momentos de cine.

Uno de los primeros recuerdos cinematográficos que tengo, es el de aquella belleza tremenda, cantando su canción con una guitarra sobre el mostrador del bar. Quizás por la melancolía, por la intimidad del momento, no lo sé.

Claro que recuerdo su magistral strip-tease mientras cantaba la misma canción, sujetándose la melena y dejando ver tan solo su cuello de nácar versus el raso negro de su vestido y sus guantes pero hay en este fragmento de la película algo especial, un momento de intensidad inusitada porque la comprendemos, porque podemos perdonarle cualquier cosa.

When Mrs. O'Leary's cow
Kicked the lantern in Chicago town
They say that started the fire
That burned Chicago down
That's the story that went around
But here's the real low-down
Put the blame on Mame, boys
Put the blame on Mame
Mame kissed a buyer from out of town
That kiss burned Chicago down
So you can put the blame on Mame, boys
Put the blame on Mame

Remember the blizzard, back in Manhattan
In eighteen-eighty-six
They say that traffic was tied up
And folks were in a fix
That's the story that went around
But here's the real low-down
Put the blame on Mame, boys
Put the blame on Mame
Mame gave a chump such an ice-cold "No"
For seven days they shovelled snow
So you can put the blame on Mame, boys
Put the blame on Mame

When they had the earthquake in San Francisco
Back in nineteen-six
They said that Mother Nature
Was up to her old tricks
That's the story that went around
But here's the real low-down
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 putting the blame on
The lady known as Lou
That's the story that went around
But here's the real low-down
Put the blame on Mame, boys
Put the blame on Mame
Mame did a dance called the hoochy-coo
That's the thing that slew McGrew
So you can put the blame on Mame, boys
Put the blame on Mame

Supongo que te refieres a la película Gilda... Espero verla algún día. ¡Nos perdemos en las pelis actuales y olvidamos los grandes clásicos!

Hay que verla, es un clásico!!! Cuando vengas a España te la pongo si quieres un día, con un té y una cachimbita.

Besos!
