rita hayworth light up the screen in this fun and fancy and delightful musical star gene kelly . rita play nightclub dancer rusty parker who have dream to be a successful broadway star . unfortunately and her career be get no where in danny mcguire night club . when one of her fellow dancer say she go to enter a cover girl contest and she decide to follow her dream and enters . she remind the publisher of her grandma and who he be deeply in love with many year ago . but when she find this success and her boyfriend be not happy about it . i have never see rita before this and and i be so glad i do . she have such a scene presence and be a very good actress . there be some good number in here and not the best of any musical but they be melodic and good to listen to . one thing i do not like be gene kelly character . he should have support his girlfriend . but anyway and that perhaps the only criticism i have about this movie . cover girl be a glorious and fluffy film perfect escapism . not everyone ideal movie and but a wonderful movie nonetheless and due to rita hayworth star power . great movie and truly impressed .
