Answer
Gilda (1946) marked a pivotal role for Glenn Ford. He portrayed Johnny Farrell, a down-on-his-luck gambler who becomes entangled in a dangerous love triangle with Gilda (Rita Hayworth) and her wealthy husband, Ballin Mundson (George Macready). Ford's charismatic performance and the film's iconic scenes, including Hayworth's sultry rendition of "Put the Blame on Mame," cemented its status as a classic film noir.
