Gasp! Well, ole Mamie had a coupla good points, for sure...
"Remembering ๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐ฆ๐๐ง๐๐ก (๐ญ๐ต๐ฏ๐ฌ) which featured ๐๐ถ๐น๐น๐ถ๐ฎ๐ป ๐ฅ๐ผ๐๐ต as Trixie. This film marked an attempt by ๐๐ฒ๐ฐ๐ถ๐น ๐. ๐๐ฒ๐ ๐ถ๐น๐น๐ฒ to return to the boudoir comedies that had brought him financial success years earlier."
On a trip to the west coast with my wife, we went to 'Fisherman's Wharf' in SF. While there I walked into a place that had vintage posters. I was creating a pool room in our basement & wanted a poster. What caught my eye was one of 'The Hustler' (1961) with Paul Newman & Piper Laurie. While looking at it a salesman walked up to give his pitch.
They wanted $800 for the poster, signed by Newman, Jackie Gleason and George C Scott. I almost bought it but the price was prohibitive. I passed, luckily & read somewhere later that Newman usually didn't sign anything. So it probably was a fake. We sold the house, pool room and all in 2009. I only hope I made the right decision & saved the purchase price.
Not the real poster, just used the image as a reference.
I had seen the movie & fancied myself as a hustler, which I wasn't. My father was closer. I met a real one, 'Richie Ambrose' in LV, much later.

There NEVER was a woman like Gilda!
At the time this came out I was more into westerns. I thought with Glenn Ford there's got to be a shootout. Glenn in real life actually was very fast with a gun. Never had got into Rita's movies much. Just a little early in my Saturday morning viewing fare. Missing was either John Wayne or Randolph Scott saving the ranch.

Ha! So did I. I went to Ames poolroom in NYC thinking I was hot stuff, and got nearly busted by the cook playing 8 ball.
Ambrose was a great player. A contemporary of such players as Ronnie Allen, Ed Kelly, and the Fusco brothers.
