The always great Totter plays the cheating wife of Basehart's meek pharmacist.

12. Sexiest noir
Gilda (1946)
Rita Hayworth is the epitome of femme fatale in a film loaded with sexual tension, between Gilda and Johnny (Glenn Ford), and Johnny and Ballin (George Macready). Several film scholars cite the homo-eroticism angle.
