Thank you. I actually put off trying to make this for ages having similar reservations about the song. I think I connected it with the movie originally because they both have a slightly comic book feel - Gilda is all about iconic imagery and the dialogue definitely belongs in speech bubbles (but I still love it) and the song has those squashy beats that feel like they need to be marked with a splash page coming up screaming KAWOOSH! My original idea (sadly not technically feasible) was to make that explicit with Sin City type colour effects and dilague pop-ups. When I figured I couldn't do that I put the idea on hold. Seeing AbsoluteDestiny's Gone With the Wind vid was one thing that made me change my mind, I was quite fascinated by how different the movement was from what you'd find in contempory source, but the thing that finally got the project back on the drawing board was coming across the All Saints video for the song on YouTube. They made a black and white faux-noir mini-movie to the song and it made me think that maybe it could work with the real thing. And sorry for babbling at such length.
