Tonight's Saturday Night Cinema feature film is a jewel that I have been saving for a special occasion like tonight.
Happy New Year!
Cover Girl stars the incomparable and impossibly beautiful Rita Hayworth. Hayworth is positively enchanting, and proves Kelly's equal in the supreme dance sequences. This technicolor bonanza is wonderfully squareball and predictable, and yet it is one of my most favorite musical films. This film is as fresh and brand spanking new as the coming new year. Just deelish.

"Thanks to its Jerome Kern/Ira Gershwin/Yip Harburg score and the luminescence of stars Rita Hayworth and Gene Kelly, Cover Girl has taken on a legendary status in recent years."

Rita Hayworth
In 1948 she left her film career to marry Prince Aly Khan, a son of Sultan Mahommed Shah, Aga Khan III, the leader of the Ismaili sect of Shia Islam. This was her second of five marriages. When she filed for divorce from Khan on September 2, 1951, she did so on the grounds of “extreme cruelty, entirely mental in nature.”
Hayworth once said she might convert to Islam like her husband. During the custody fight over second daughter Princess Yasmin Aga Khan, Prince Khan said he wanted her raised as a Muslim; whereas Hayworth (who had been raised a Roman Catholic) wanted the child to be a Christian.
In fact, Hayworth had rejected a $1,000,000 offer to raise Yasmin as a Muslim from age seven and allow her to go to Europe for two or three months each year.
“Nothing will make me give up Yasmin’s chance to live here in America among our precious freedoms and habits”, declared Hayworth. “While I respect the Muslim faith and all other faiths it is my earnest wish that my daughter be raised as a normal, healthy American girl in the Christian faith. There isn’t any amount of money in the entire world for which it is worth sacrificing this child’s privilege of living as a normal Christian girl here in the United States. There just isn’t anything else in the world that can compare with her sacred chance to do that. And I’m going to give it to Yasmin regardless of what it costs.”

I just watched this last night for the 50th time, the technicolor is AMAZING and those gals were just gorgeous in those hats.
Gene Kelly looks like a dream boat.
WHERE IS MY AMERICA.

doesn’t sound like suicide to me!

Hollywood has always been full of silly, cheesy claptrap. It was not ‘light’ then and ‘dark’ now. Take Jane Fonda for instance, or her family. They prove it was liberal Hollywood then, liberal Hollywood now.
Breitbart tried to reach out to young people. You do that with things they relate to, things they see and enjoy.
