Rita Hayworth – Cover Girl
John Coudair (Otto Kruger) was wounded long ago when his fiancée called off their engagement, and when he spots the woman's granddaughter, comely stage performer Rusty Parker (Rita Hayworth), he's reminded of what he lost. A publishing mogul, he decides to put the naive young beauty on the cover of his magazine. Although he might lose her, Rusty's boyfriend, Danny McGuire (Gene Kelly), refuses to interfere with her path to success. Ultimately, she must decide between riches and romance.
Critic Reviews:
- " A creaking plot is made bearable by gorgeous colour, the even more gorgeous Hayworth, some oddly unsentimental and unsettling flashbacks with her playing her character's turn-of-the-century grandmother. " – Kim Newman
- " Dance sequences spotlighting the terping abilities of Hayworth and Kelly are expertly staged. " – Variety Staff
- " The whole thing, especially the comic stuff from Silvers and Arden, is executed with considerable brio. And Rudolph Mat's Technicolor photography is faultless. " – Time Out
