Yes! "Shall We Dance" is my favourite movie, and you made my day by recognizing it just from a 100x100 icon.
I was watching the original trailers for Gilda on the dvd and they're all about what a manipulative Jezebel she is, which I've never seen.
I suppose the trailers are also from Johnny's POV. It's something of a modernist thing (postmodern? I never know the terms) for the film to examine a character by looking through his eyes, but it makes for confusing trailers. On the other hand, maybe it's just that the Jezebel angle sells.
