Rita Hayworth dazzles in GILDA (1946) in the North American premiere of the brand-new restoration from Sony Pictures fresh off its world premiere at Cannes! Hayworth electrifies in her first major dramatic role with Columbia as the titular Gilda opposite everyman Glenn Ford as crooked gambler Johnny Farrell, making his return to the screen after a four-year stint with the US Marine Corps during WWII. Made even more memorable thanks to elegant costuming by Jean Louis—who spared no expense with Hayworth’s iconic furs and gowns—the film is lensed to perfection by cinematographer Rudolph Maté and his striking, shadowy visuals. Screening as part of Spotlights, which showcases restored films, anniversaries, and more! 1946. 110 min. USA. B&W. English. 4K DCP.

Quick update on that massive reggaetón infringement lawsuit I wrote about last year. The case was brought by representatives of famed Jamaican dancehall producers Steely & Clevie against Bad Bunny, Luis Fonsi, Daddy Yankee, Karol G, Maluma, Pitbull, and more than 140 other popular reggaetón artists, songwriters, and record companies. After taking defendants' motions to dismiss under submission for the past seven months, Judge André Birotte, Jr. largely denied their bid for an early dismissal yesterday, finding that it would be premature to rule on originality or protectability on the pleadings: "The court is unprepared at this stage to examine the history of the reggaeton and dancehall genres and dissect the genres’ features to determine whether the elements common between the allegedly infringing works and the subject works are commonplace, and thus unprotectable, as a matter of law," Birotte wrote. While the court's ruling largely sidestepped the marquee issue in the case—the protectability of the musical elements comprising the Dem Bow composition, either individually or in combination—it's still early. The lawsuits resulting in the Ninth Circuit's recent opinions in the Led Zeppelin "Stairway to Heaven" case (Skidmore v. Zeppelin) and the Katy Perry "Dark Horse" case (Gray v. Hudson) both went to a jury following lengthy discovery and expert testimony. This one may take a while too, and the stakes are incredibly high.
