Elke Sommer in The Money Trap (1965), available from the Warner Archive. Forty-nine year old Glenn Ford plays a detective. He's married to 25-year-old Elke Sommer, but he meets an old flame played by 47-year-old Rita Hayworth. Forty-five-year-old Ricardo Montalban plays Glenn's partner. Sixty-year-old Joseph Cotten plays a bad guy. So, basically, the hero has a wife half his age, and his "old" girlfriend (who is two years younger than he) is a "washed up" waitress. Hollywoood can be so cruel at times.
Here is a YouTube version.

Fantastic!
Fell in love with her when this first came out way back in the day. I was 11. At 55 the memory remains vivid.
Ford and Montleban and Claire Trevor also shone in this film.

My bad! You are right. It wasn't Claire Trevor. It WAS Rita!
