I apologize for the poor quality!
This is a project I've been thinking about doing for a while, and here it is - my comparison vid of my two favorite film noirs, starring two of my favorite film noir pairings - "Laura" (1944) starring Gene Tierney and Dana Andrews, and "Gilda" (1946) starring Rita Hayworth and Glenn Ford. While the films don't have a lot of parallels, the fact that they each have a beautiful woman as the object of desire by two tough guys who tried to fight their feelings - and most of the time not doing a very good job of it! This took a lot of work, so in the future I'll try to mix it up a little bit with photos and clips, or just have slideshow videos. I thought "Clocks" by Coldplay was a good modern song with something of a vintage feel in sound. Hope you like it!

Great footage, great films... but THIS SONG? Honestly? When you think FILM NOIR you think of Coldplay? It's amazing how much better this would be with a more mature, appropriate composition. Then again, this is just my own opinion.

I was thinking more along the lines of the emotion and relationships between the lead characters of these films.

Glad you enjoyed anyway!

Excellent tribute! Laura and Gilda are definitely two of the most fascinating characters on screen and Gene and Rita are amazing in their roles. Well done!

Great video, my two favorite actresses Gene Tierney and Rita Hayworth. Both of these women's talent were under appreciated.
