    "You Were Never Lovelier" from 1042 starring the very taletned dancer Fred Astaire and the beautiful Rita Hayworth. This musical comedy centers in South America where a wealthy businessman whom owns a hotel is looking to marry off his next in line daughter (Hayworth). This will b...( read more)e done by him posing as a suiter and sending lovely letters and flowers and then enters the dancer (Astaire) whom is looking to get a job at the nightclub in the hotel and then poses as the letter writer....a lovely musical score and dance numbers for a sweet film.

    OK, so the plot is kind of meh, but I'll add on an extra half star just for the dancing of Fred Astaire and Rita Hayworth. Fred and Rita always struck me as a slightly odd pairing when you put them together, but Rita was Fred's favourite dancing partner and their chemistry and th...( read more)e great choreography make the film. I just want to mention Gus Shilling who played the slighty camp secretary, who was the most hilarious aspect between the musical numbers.

    I love Rita Hayworth and in my humble opinion she's a much better dancer than Ginger Rogers (and receives much less credit). For that reason alone I have given 'You Were Never Lovelier' a half a star extra than 'Top Hat'. The choreography of the musical numbers is simply stunning...( read more) and the plot is a lot of fun with some genuine laugh-out-loud moments. Of course Astaire is also fantastic - even though you know that, in real life, Rita would be way out of his league!

    Rita Hayworth was absurdly beautiful and made every single one of her films a viewing pleasure. Team her dancing feet with those of Fred Astaire and you have choreographic magic. Splendid.

    What can I say? 'I'm old fashioned" I love this movie, trully one of Ritas best. Fred is his normal charming self, and 'The Shory George is their best dance number out of the two they did costarring eachother. Trully a classic.
