Plot Explained.
Although I generally wouldn't be this mean I am going to explain the plot to those of you who are to dumb to understand it.
Johhny is a drifter, he stay's in one place only long enough to wear out his welcome, sort of like Frank Sinatra in Pal Joey. Ballin is a gentleman who owns a casino and is slightly insane, Ballin is at first angry with Johnny for cheating him, but Johnny convinces him to give him a job. Johhny is Ballin's right hand man, and as we know Ballin demands absolute loyalty from everyone, this is why Ballin says "NO WOMEN," he doesn't want anyone dividing Johnny's loyalty its not because they are homosexuals.
Gilda is someone from Johhny's past, and she marry's Ballin on the rebound, Johhny is upset because he is in shock not because Ballin has a woman but because of this paticular woman, you'll notice the shock is not on his face until he sees who the woman is. Gilda as we know try's to hurt him, if Johhny were a homosexual Gilda's affairs with other men right in front of him, making him wish he were that man would not have bothered him.
Throughout the film Gilda is at first trying to make Johhny upset, then she marry's him, Johnny's refusal to have sex with Gilda is not because he is a homosexual or in love with Ballin, it is because he is trying to punish her for hurting him, she wants to have sex with him more than anyone else and therefore denying her that is punishement, she decides to get him back by going after other men, making Johnny even madder because even though he is punishing her he is still in love with her.
In the end it turns out to be an act she made to make Johhny jealous, the entire film is about Johhny thinking at first he was in a secure place, only to have this woman, Gilda, come and rock his world, and everytime he thinks he has gotten the upperhand she takes him down a peg.
It is about two lovers trying to destroy each other, like in A Duel in the Sun, only Gilda has a happier ending.
Why is that everyione thinks that a film with two men in it is about homosexuality, next MASH will be branded as a gay.
