Rita Hayworth is a beauty goddess. Amazing beautiful face...beautiful from top to bottom as well...and man can she dance. All that beauty in motion is totally amazing.
She can because she's Rita Hayworth, there has simply never been another. One of the most beautiful women in the world and a beautiful dancer, was Rita. Tragically she died of Alzheimers before it was recognised and she had a bad time from people who didn't understand what it was. They all just thought she was a supreme bitch and she was terribly ill.
@@petertaylor3600 They thought she was drunk. Awful, sad story. Many Hollywood ladies who flamed out before their time were at least partly responsible for their misfortunes. Rita's worst faults were being too timid to stand up for herself, too anxious for emotional security and too trusting with men who offered it. These are not traits that hurt others, and Rita Hayworth was a decent woman whose face and form tragically became her misfortune. At least her daughter helped her instead of defaming her posthumously like the viperish spawn of Bette Davis and Joan Crawford.
I have to say, those eyes of hers are awfully disarming. As twice over a mother of newborns, I'd wager just that look alone was like a lullaby to get em off to sleep. The same would surely be true in her delivery of a goodnight story as well ... 'And they all lived happily ever after .' Let's all hope and pray she's in a better place now, for the mere fact she used my name in the latter seconds is testament she made our individual lives sparkle in ways she could not imagine. That she did!
Shot by Ted Tetzlaff, one of the men who brought b&w cinematography to its gleaming, glossy zenith in the Forties. His last work, for Hitchcock in 'Notorious', did for Ingrid Bergman what he did here for Rita. AFAIK he never filmed color.
He wasn't always old. And later on only the younger ones could not only keep up and look right with him. Dancing is a visual art. He stayed at his peak as a dancer for an extraordinary length of time. Mostly, they are past their best by their mid to late thirties.
@@chattyroz2934 Ha ha. Of course" He wasn't always old". You are right that it would take a younger woman to keep up with him, but I noticed that many other actors who DID NOT dance were also paired up with leading ladies up to 30 years their junior.
This marveleus movie is based on an Argentine movie Los martes orquidias with Juan Carlos Torry Enrique Serrano and Mirtha Legrand still alive at 95.She was born on February 23 1927 and is still active on TV. Of course this musical version with Fred Astaire Rita Hayworth and Adolf Menjou with Jerome Kern musical is marveleus
Strange the differences between fantasy and fact. Rita's "real" name was Margarita Carmen Cansino, Fred's Fred Austerlitz. At the time this film was made, 1942, she was 24 years old, he 43. It was the middle of WWII. She later died of complications of Alzheimer's disease; they both died in the same year, 1987.
Yes, Rita was talented and beautiful. But think the great talent here was Fred Astaire and composer Jerome Kern who wrote the musical score. Fred Astaire made all his dancing/singing partners look good: Joan Leslie, Ginger Rogers, Cyd Charrise and a few others I can't remember. But class and elegance it was, the golden age of Hollywood.
Johnny Mercer's lyrics may play on a gossip columnist's cliche. In the 1930s Louella Parsons often reported social occasions where her boss Wilklam Randolph Hearst's companion Marion Davies was present. Her invariable sign-off was 'And Marion never looked lovelier!'
Oh my! Fred Astaire, the Great God of American dance, struck down by Rita Hayworth. I should have paid at least a dollar seventy-five to watch this. But then, it's the music of Jerome Kern. Can't go wrong with that. Not in my "palmiest days." I'm not saying the musical is a knockout, but she sure is. The lyrics are from Johnny Mercer. From 1942. I am so afraid!
the person who posted this took the time to: FIND the old footage, edit it, and post it on youtube so Magica could watch it FOR FREE...and Magica complains that it wasnt good enough!? you post a better one yourself!!!
Actually, I read ages ago a thing about various silent movie actors, and their doings. Menjou as considered far rightwing politically and, in fact, wasn't the nicest pebble on the beach, as it were. He was one of the group who, in the 50s, did so much to destroy Hollywood during the McCarthy era trials in the early 50s. He didn't intend to destroy his own means of a living, but he was rabidly anti Communist and obviously pretty dumb. He had had, during his career, many high ranking friends in the industry who helped his career but a fine actor, he was not.
Hayworth was exquisite and special!✨
Her dress is absolutely stunning. 🖤
Very romantic

Rita Hayworth.
i LOVE this movie!
Úžasní jsou oba dva.❤ Krásní lidé a Škoda, že dnes už takoví nejsou ....
how does she do that?? that look she gives him starting at 0:52. so glamorous and gorgeous with out trying.
She can because she's Rita Hayworth, there has simply never been another. One of the most beautiful women in the world and a beautiful dancer, was Rita.

Oh yes she did say Robert!
Rita dal fascino incomparabile
Jerome Kern deserves the highest accolades for writing such beautiful music..followed by Astaire singing them
Surprising as it may seem, at the time of the movie's release, only one of the songs became a hit ( and it wasn't "I'm Old Fashioned").
He was every host's delight.

1:30 Good God, she was beautiful.
So innocent “now I can’t think of a darn thing” or “oh you’re terrific” 😂
so romantic❤
*sigh* I love Fred!
CharminglyRetro who doesn't? 💓💓
Astaire was one lucky old fool. He was always being paired up with very young and beautiful women.
He wasn't always old. And later on only the younger ones could not only keep up and look right with him. Dancing is a visual art. He stayed at his peak as a dancer for an extraordinary length of time. Mostly, they are past their best by their mid to late thirties.

I love this movie
LOVELY
Oh my! Is she beautiful!

Simple the best
This scene is so romantic..sweet and lovely that I just dont know what to say. Rita said better here.."I love you too".
Que Vestido !!!
Wonderful !!!
Such elegance…..
Can't even LOOK at Hayworth without getting. . . you know. . .
Fred's 19 years older than the enchanting senorita.
perfect!
Yes 😅 The man right there 🕺 lol
:43 to 1:40 ... that. is. romance. you don't find anything like this anymore.
EUDEA1 agreed my friend
radiohead tv I know I’m watching Astaire on TH-cam when I see your name somewhere in the comments!
Fred had great self control!
His singing is as good as his dancing, and that's really saying something.
Who is looking at him
I´ve just watched the full movie on the link below.
At 0:57 Fred speaks for us all.
Strange the differences between fantasy and fact. Rita's "real" name was Margarita Carmen Cansino, Fred's Fred Austerlitz. At the time this film was made, 1942, she was 24 years old, he 43. It was the middle of WWII. She later died of complications of Alzheimer's disease; they both died in the same year, 1987.
She has a tragic life but she has great strength. Spaniard beauty ❤
I felt the kiss he got too
Fred’s favorite dance partner ❤
Yes, Rita was talented and beautiful. But think the great talent here was Fred Astaire and composer Jerome Kern who wrote the musical score. Fred Astaire made all his dancing/singing partners look good: Joan Leslie, Ginger Rogers, Cyd Charrise and a few others I can't remember.
But class and elegance it was, the golden age of Hollywood.
That kiss would kill me on the spot.
Maravilha de sintonia

E voilà la belle femme Aujourd’hui nos starlet presque nus sur tapis rouge Quelle farce 😢😢😢
Do we know what color her dress was?
Oh my! Fred Astaire, the Great God of American dance, struck down by Rita Hayworth.
I should have paid at least a dollar seventy-five to watch this.
But then, it's the music of Jerome Kern. Can't go wrong with that. Not in my "palmiest days."
I'm not saying the musical is a knockout, but she sure is.
The lyrics are from Johnny Mercer. From 1942.
I am so afraid!
..
.. mom
how dare you cut the scene in the middle of the kiss!!! you should have left 5 more seconds and leave the shot to the end :(
the person who posted this took the time to: FIND the old footage, edit it, and post it on youtube so Magica could watch it FOR FREE...and Magica complains that it wasnt good enough!? you post a better one yourself!!!
Can someone please tell me name of the movie
The film was You Were Never Lovelier
I wonder how times Astaire asked if they could reshoot this scene.
She was a better dancer than ginger Rodgers
romance
Yo tenia hasta hace 2 años un vestido igual de Oscar y lo di , pense para que ahora ?
OK
Истамбул -константинополь
El tambien la encuentra a ella con ropa como para salir a tirar la basura
She can make these actress look bad
Do take the book with a grain of salt; it gets many facts wrong.
Adolphe Menjou was a silent actor and was OK, I suppose, but his acting in a sound movie was abysmal. He was probably there because of his name...
thanks for finding and commenting on the worse thing in an otherwise lovely video...talk about glass half empty!
Actually, I read ages ago a thing about various silent movie actors, and their doings. Menjou as considered far rightwing politically and, in fact, wasn't the nicest pebble on the beach, as it were. He was one of the group who, in the 50s, did so much to destroy Hollywood during the McCarthy era trials in the early 50s.

He had had, during his career, many high ranking friends in the industry who helped his career but a fine actor, he was not.
Always lied this bit.
If ever there was a face you just want to kiss it's would be Rita Hayworth .
