COVER GIRL
Special Features: 80th Anniversary
Red-headed knockout Rita Hayworth becomes an overnight sensation when she's spotted by Vanity magazine honcho (Otto Kruger) and selected for supermodel stardom. Her boyfriend Gene Kelly argues that dancing's where it's at, and urges her to stay with their act. But Hayworth's newfound fame brings her offers to make the leap to Broadway — solo. Highlights include Jerome Kern and Ira Gershwin's lyrical "Long Ago and Far Away" (#92 on AFI's 100 Years...100 Songs) and Kelly's inventive dancing with himself on "Alter-Ego Dance." DIR Charles Vidor; SCR Virginia Van Upp, from the story by Erwin S. Gelsey; PROD Arthur Schwartz. U.S., 1944, color, 107 min. NOT RATED
