  Rita Hayworth soundtrack is filled with surprises
I'll penalize the Soundtrack Factory one star for false advertising. It does indeed include the vocals from the movie Gilda. The three tracks only take a fraction of the CD, which is actually a compilation of vocals from Rita Hayworth films. Not "Rita Hayworth vocals," because she is dubbed by other singers throughout.Personally, I think "Amado Mio" is worth the price of admission by itself. The remaining 75 minutes of music, though, constitute a time capsule from a classic era of Hollywood films. I've never seen any of the other Hayworth films included, but the songs themselves are filled with catchy melodies and humorous, intricate wordplay. The CD is also nicely designed, featuring the original poster from the movie "Gilda." The fonts, logos, and CD picture nicely emphasize the retro motif. The liner notes provide a well written summary of Rita Hayworth's career, along with a filmography. (Check out the 25-word synopsis of "Gilda.") I would have liked it if they had listed the composers for each song, but maybe they were limited by space/budget considerations. I didn't expect this kind of compilation, but I was pleasantly surprised. It's a treasure trove for anyone who likes movies and music from that era, and every track had me smiling at least once.
