Cover Girl (1944): Rita Hayworth and Gene Kelly


     Directed by Charles Vidor, Cover Girl (1944) was one of the most popular Musicals of the World War II years. Much of the allure rested with the lovely presence of Rita Hayworth, who is indescribably beautiful throughout the film. Shot in vibrant Technicolor, the story focuses on a common chorus girl who gets a shot at the big time. The dance routines with Gene Kelly and Rita Hayworth are spectacular. The supporting cast is great as well, including Phil Silvers and Otto Kruger.
