Film: Gilda (1946)
Showing: Christmas Eve, 2.10am, BBC2
Why It’s A Must-See: Two words...Rita. Hayworth. The classic noir femme fatale was never so alluringly portrayed as Hayworth manages with her fickle, flame-haired temptress.
The simmering resentment that bubbles away under the tale of gambling hucksters and Nazi businessmen all stems from her wholly believable ability to beguile the pants off any bloke who wanders into her tractor beam.
Don’t Get Up For A Mince Pie...whenever Hayworth swims under the club stage spotlight to deliver one of her effortlessly paralysing song-and-shimmy numbers. Not that you could if you wanted to.

And there I was thinking Burton's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory was an adaptation of a book by this guy called Roald Dahl.
