Exciting loveliness and rhythm in a star-spangled army
musical! " |

Synopsis: Fred Astaire stars
as choreographer-turned-soldier Robert Curtis, has rarely
been looser, and Rita Hayworth, as dancer Sheila Winthrop,
has rarely been more graceful. After Cortland's wife (Frieda
Inescort) discovers a telltale diamond bracelet, impresario
Martin Cortland tries to show he's not chasing after showgirl
Sheila Winthrop and Robert Curtis gets caught in the middle
of the boss's scheme. Army conscription offers Robert the
perfect escape from his troubles ... or does it? Nominated
for 2 Oscars.
*
You'll Never Get Rich is the first of two that Fred
Astaire
and Rita
Hayworth made together (followed by You Were Never Lovelier)
make a nice couple but is a little light on the dancing. Rita
was a professional dancer (the Dancing
Cansino's) so her pairing with Fred Astaire would be sure
to please. Astaire and Rita Hayworth engage in some fancy
solo Tap footwork and have one scene where they actually dance
together to a Rumba "So Near and Yet So Far" which
has Rita out dancing Fred in the Latin dance department. There
is an ensemble dance at the start of the film called "Boogie
Barcarolle. The Cakewalk song is only sung and not danced
to by the stars as the finale. |
