March 15, 1946 –
Columbia Pictures released Charles Vidor’s film-noir classic, Gilda, starring Rita Hayworth and Glen Ford on this date.
Harry Cohn was worried about bad publicity affecting Rita Hayworth’s box-office pull; her marriage to Orson Welles was a constant worry for him. Hayworth and Welles were, in fact, in the middle of one of their separations during the shooting, and the gossip magazines were full of stories of an affair between her and Glenn Ford. When the two weren’t filming, the mogul would barrage the duo with angry phone calls and demand that Hayworth go home.
