   Great film. I’m only halfway through watching it on Netflix Instant, and I still know how great it is.

   I love it so much. I love how they really stick with the theme of “hate” – it comes up again and again – they really explore it in a way that I think is very daring, to this day. I think her husband says something like, “Hate makes me warm. It is the only thing that makes me warm.”

   Also, in terms of girlie-girl appreciation: I love how Hayworth’s hair, as perfect as it is, really MOVES. I mean, her first appearance is all about the bounciness of her hair, flipping off her face. She’s not a shellacked doll. Everything moves. I love her hair.

   That is THE iconic sexpot shot as far as I’m concerned.

   It’s breathtaking. I think one of the reasons is because there is so much movement in it. She doesn’t appear like a gorgeous frozen statue – she’s alive. Breathtaking!!

   I always wondered how black-and-white cinematographers were so able to capture red hair without the color red. I know they were all clearly aware of what they were doing – all I know is, it is obvious that that hair is red.

   (And clearly the makeup and hair teams were geniuses as well – they knew that whatever look they created had to come to life in black and white … Always found that interesting.)
