SSally Jane Black 8 月 26, 2026
When the central conflict is based on a sexist presumption like this it poisons the whole film. It’s also lazy fucking writing. Just write a complex couple; it’s possible, even if they are heterosexual.

gene kelly musicals always have a magical quality in my eyes, and rita hayworth amplifies this. she lights up the screen, and her flawless dancing make her appear mystifying. and then we have gene. the scene in which he dances with his reflection is one of my favorites! together these two make dancing seem effortless, and as if they’re merely floating on air. if you haven’t watched this, you’re missing out! it’s such a beautiful film, from its spotlight on the conover cover girls to kelly’s choreography.

I was really into the first half of this but it runs out of steam a bit when it starts introducing conflict that follows the irritatingly common pattern of the era – Rita Hayworth starts to succeed thanks to her own talents and the rest of the cast get upset about it. This does lead to a pretty excellent Gene Kelly routine where he gets into a dance-off with his own reflection so it’s not all bad, but it all feels a bit flat after the infectious fun of the first chunk of the film. Some fun supporting characters though, as ever – Eve Arden gets a great moment where she fucks up a billiard table and exits in a…

If I had a nickel for every time I’ve thought about this movie since I first watched it I would be a billionaire. Is the plot that interesting? Not really but I still love it! The songs and choreography are so fantastic, whenever I see the Make Way For Tomorrow, Put Me to the Test, Alter Ego, & Cover Girl numbers I can’t help but feel giddy!!! The staging in the Cover Girl number blows me away; I don’t think I’ll ever accurately remember the size of that camera. If you play the Alter Ego dance at my funeral & I don’t get up it means I am DEAD

There are better musicals out there, but that scene of Gene Kelly dancing with his own reflection is everything I love about cinema.

What is true bliss if not Rita Hayworth and Gene Kelly being paired together on film??? Their numbers both together and respectively alone will always blow me away, which is one sentence I’ve said about 173835 times before. I’ve seen the Alter Ego dance more than my own family and I will also continue to talk about that every time Cover Girl gets brought up!!! If your jaw doesn’t drop at the bride dress reveal I simply think you should go to a doctor because that is the most gorgeous thing to be caught on camera. Talking about the numbers in this is my personal never-ending vicious circle

Gene Kelly always looks like he needs help getting that big butt of his off the ground.

i wish this was 107 minutes of gene kelly and rita hayworth dancing together because everything else is pretty dull and phil silvers is so irritating. but the dancing is SO good. the sequence where gene kelly dances with himself is CRAZY. (9/10 from 1944)

A real mixed bag and not a cohesive experience. Some amazing production values – the Ascot spoof number and Kelly dancing with himself are visually so cool. The main story idea is interesting. The big breakup scene is well written and feels genuine. But the songs are forgettable, some of them because they try too hard, others because they sound so generic. The plot contrivances are, well, contrived. The choreography – in a Gene Kelly movie! – is pretty middling. And worst of all, Phil Silvers is in this movie. Phil. Silvers.

Aggressively mid for a musical with Gene Kelly and Rita Hayworth. It is interesting to see them both at this point in their careers before truly hitting their strides. The plot is irritating, conflict is manufactured and manipulative. Musical numbers are flat with choreography that fails to find the strength of its performers or forgettable songs that are either completely out of left field or so on-the-nose that you feel like you got punched in the face! I’m not sure…

Visually wonderful, unfortunately held back by forgettable songs (with the strong exception of Long Ago And Far Away) and a story that fell a little flat. But it’s going to take me a very long time to forget Gene Kelly dancing with his inner demon reflection, Rita Hayworth descending an abstract Broadway set the size of an aircraft carrier, or literally every piece of clothing Eva Arden wore.

The plot didn’t hold my attention in the middle, but that’s more on me than the movie. I will be wearing a bold lip tomorrow though 💄 p.s. I also loved her blazer (which was also superrrr 1980s) (I love how fashion repeats) and will be sporting oversized blazers this fall

Temmelig ordinær musical, der til tider virker som en svag ansats til Singin’ In the Rain, men mest pga. backlot-scenen og Gene Kelly. Resten er desværre ret charmeforladt, plottet er trivielt og altmodisch i sit kvindesyn og Hayworth brænder desværre aldrig igennem for mig. Højdepunktet er Kelly, der danser med sin egen samvittighed, men ellers bliver jeg ikke for alvor fanget eller fænget.

Quel ravissement que toutes ces chorégraphies! Gene Kelly m’épate chaque fois, particulièrement ici lors de la scène où il danse avec lui-même. Les moyens techniques de l’époque, bien que rudimentaires à côté de l’informatique actuelle, sont inventifs et bien exécutés, et ajoutent un charme imparfait aujourd’hui perdu. Une histoire fort charmante, visuellement colorée, festive et divertissante, où histoire d’amour et ambitions professionnelles se conjuguent sur fond de sagesse, avec juste ce qu’il faut de pointes d’humour. J’étais émerveillée comme une enfant.

The musical numbers in the first half were fun, but the real standout moment was Gene Kelly’s dance-off with his reflection/alter-ego. Not only was it very cool to watch, but thinking about what had to be done technically to achieve that in 1944… wow. It reminded me of Fred Astaire’s shadow dance in Swing Time, proper old-school movie magic. The story was just kind of whatever. There’s a moment halfway through where it looks like Danny and Rusty have found…

Love Rita Hayworth…this was just before Gilda. not so crazy about Gene Kelly. I prefer the films where he doesn’t dance. and some fun sidekicks. Phil Silvers and Eve Arden. Corny number at the beginning where the “Cover Girls” do a couple dance numbers. its a wartime flick, so we’ll cut em some slack, as they entertain the troops in one long vaudeville show. the story is kind of all over the place. Jinx Falkenburg and Cornelia are trying to…

so delightful. i really love nothing more than a gene kelly technicolor musical. set pieces are unbelievable and the movement on those dresses was so beautiful to watch. the scene where he dances with his reflection is insane (seriously how did they do that) and i had so much fun every time the awesome oyster trio was together—they’re my new best friends!!!

“Quem conheça Ziegfeld Follies de Minnelli (1946) e se recordar do famoso episódio em que Fred Astaire e Gene Kelly dançam juntos pela única vez no cinema, talvez se lembre de como começa o encontro entre os dois mais célebres bailarinos da tela. Kelly saúda “Mr. Astaire”; Astaire faz um ar de quem nunca o viu em parte nenhuma e, ante o olhar perplexo e desorientado de Kelly, pergunta-lhe se ele sabe dançar. Insiste e trata-o como um amador.

Paper thin narrative ensures this is not one of Gene Kelly’s best films, but him dancing against a Pepper Ghost doppelgänger that emerges from a shop window really does a lot of heavy lifting for it.

These high paced greatly choreographed and visually striking Gene Kelly’s musicals from the 40’s and early 50’s are one of my favorite types of movies ever. It feels like cinema at its best, they combine a good story with phenomenal, and many times innovative, visuals and great songs, it’s highly entertaining. Cover Girl is no different from An American In Paris or Singin’ In The Rain or On The Town, the story itself is very strong and the singing and…

I’m always going to be a sucker for technicolor and this is apparently Columbia (now Sony’s) first technicolor musical, which makes it very special to me! A pretty good 4K restoration. Rita Hayworth and Gene Kelly are their usual charming selves and their chemistry imo can’t be denied. Loved the musical numbers that Gene Kelly was involved with (considering that’s only half the film…), particularly the window dance. I did feel there were unnecessary parts that probably could’ve been cut…

An amazing film starring the great Rita Hayworth, such an amazing story of a woman coming from very little wanting to achieve so much and having a quick rise to fame after the magazine’s publication and wanting to make something of herself while also trying to handle her family and friends at home trying to keep her in a box trying to stop her from doing by trying to make decisions for her instead of letting go and after finally…

If this were just the musical numbers, this would be a five stars for me because anytime we get song and dance, it’s perfect. Unfortunately, this also has a story attached to it and oof. The actors are not at fault at all: Rita Hayworth is indeed a godess, outshining each and everyone else, and Gene Kelly gives his character some much needed likeability (much needed because Danny is a miserable, unsupportive prick). There’s even some fine comedic moments. But…

Gene Kelly & Rita Hayworth was a pairing I didn’t know I wanted to see until I saw this film! The fact they only made one movie together is wild!

Thought I was going to like this much more. The plot is pretty dull and most of the dances didn’t hit for me, despite being well executed. The two big positives were Hayworth and Kelly, who have very good chemistry and are obviously excellent on-screen dancers. Getting to see Rita float across the screen in color was worth the price of admission, I’m always shocked at how beautiful she was.

first half is pretty solid but meanders in the last. i really liked gene kelly’s dance off with his reflection – more then i did his mop dance from thousands cheer – it might be one of my favourite performances of his next to moses supposes from singing in the rain. rita heyworth is a dream. they way she dances is completely effortless. i can’t help but be a little bit jealous.

牡蛎中挖出珍珠，这是三位挚友每周五的魔法时刻，是憧憬未来最棒的开端，也是最后在奇迹中诞生爱意的根源，这是一条太棒太鲜活的设定了。丽塔海华斯在银幕前就是这么生动活泼又美艳动人，吉恩凯利的内心焦灼所投射出的影子舞蹈部分堪称一绝。这电影在服装妆造上堪称歌舞片典范了，Technicolor的高饱和质感也让这部歌舞片拥有强大魅力。但从剧情而言，这电影掉入了非常严重的男性凝视，女性的成功必须是抛弃旧爱甘愿献身给有钱人才可走上的的太平之路，且三人组合里她永远是被支配被干涉其未来的人，这对如此生动的女主来说着实不公平。

Gene Kelly & Rita Hayworth are just beyond charming. “Long ago and far away” was enchanting. Unfortunately I felt that the plot and characterization were mediocre, hence my 3 star review.

Hayworth pre “Gilda” and Kelly pre everything. This is where “Alter-Ego Dance” features and it was really a great achievement in 1944. I didn’t know any of the songs and the choreography is forgettable for the most part but some costumes are beautiful. Unfortunately, the plot became cliché once the conflict was introduced and made me lose interest.

This is undeniably a stunning movie because of the Technicolor and Rita Hayworth of it all, but the whole time I just found myself being annoyed at every man in this (except for Genius).

“Why did I put Cover Girl on my watchlist?” I wondered, customarily not saving movies featuring actors whose filmography I’m likely to work through without prompting. And then the Gene squared sorrowful street shadow dance started and I *shrieked*. Seventeen stars for that sequence, holy shit, my heart rate spiked so sharply though stationary that I had to shed my sweatshirt. Thank you Cover Girl! I think you’re swell.

There are some absolutely breathtakingly gorgeous sequences in this film. One that stands out is when Rusty goes on broadway, those abstract stairs… Rita’s effortless gliding across the stage as if she lives there… the CONFETTI… Straight of a dream. The Cover Girl sequence showcasing all the actual Cover Girls is amazing. If you love the art of fashion and beauty, this movie will definitely catch your eye. Some questionable themes in there, but all in all a good watch. Absolutely adore Rita… and Gene of course.

NNo-Personality 6 月 1, 2026
It’s rare that a movie about showbiz and the promise of a high-flying career in the making absolutely fails to inject any enticement whatsoever into either the prospect of fame and fortune or staying humble with your close friends in the “little leagues.” So I would have to say the characters were weak and the story was too light on flash and glam. But I did remain glued to the screen, thanks to the cast. Though it’s worth pointing out Gene Kelly’s male lead was much less interesting than Otto Kruger’s professional nostalgist.

Already watched it twice. Its a nice movie filmed using beautiful Technicolor, with great costumes and scenery. Phil Silvers’s numbers were terrible, every time he began singing I wanted to poke chopsticks through my ears. Gene Kelly was very good but he was such an asshole (in his role in the film and real life) I couldn’t see past that. And then, of course, we have magnetic, witty and gorgeous Rita Hayworth, delivering a very convincing act and beautiful dance…

I know he was a dick irl but my god the way Gene Kelly moves when he dances is so mesmerizing, like every inch of him is intentionally but gracefully placed at all times

What’s better than one character played by Rita Hayworth? Two characters played by Rita Hayworth. What’s better than one Gene Kelly dancing? Two Gene Kellys dancing. Rita Hayworth is a goddess and Gene Kelly is so sexy, he can get away with pretending “chicken” is a good pet name (It’s not). Eve Arden had the best lines. But I needed those men to stop acting like Rusty was some kind of villain.

MAKEOVER MONTAGE SCENEEE!!! The coloring and costumes are stunning and I loved the ghostly dancing scene where Danny mimics himself. I wish the plot was a bit stronger since it’s uneven balance of musical to movie, but it was entertaining for the evening. Oh, and Danny is an utter imbecile who can’t accept his girl is a bigger star than him.

Baz Luhrmann, director of Moulin Rouge (2001), made a weird observation. Rita Hayworth, he said, is a really good dancer, especially for a bigger-bodied woman. To be fair, she does look “big” on screen, but part of it might just be her layers of hair. According to Google, she was 5′ 6″ and weighed 130 pounds. Does that count as “big”? Musicals are not my jam, but I will watch any genre, and there are definitely musicals I like. This…

Highs and lows here. Elevated Kelly and Hayworth to further super stardom. The plot is a drawback with Kelly’s character whining and jealous in story where it’s supposed to be a bad thing that Hayworth gets a major break.

I love Rita Hayworth and Gene Kelly! This story was a bit boring to me though and felt like it could be shortened a bit. I loved the dancing, as always! Gene Kelly’s widow, Patricia Ward Kelly, talked to us a bit at the screening today and told us about how complicated it was to shoot the alter ego scene. That was really cool to hear about and then watch in the film! It was a fun time!

The perfect marriage of a genuinely wonderful plot and an unmatched cinematic joy. What do I mean by ‘cinematic joy’? I mean specifically when a film is made by people who are clearly excited and awed by the potential of cinema, its a celebratory aesthetic, and one synonymous with discovery.

Cover Girl is fine enough if you take it on it’s own – it’s not the best musical I’ve ever seen, but it has enough razzle dazzle and humor to satisfy if you’re in the mood for an old fashioned song and dance spectacular. Hell, it even got me to LOL once; this has a montage that juxtaposes various models with the magazine covers that they appeared on – and one lady appeared on the cover of “Farm Journal.” No…

I’m pretty sure the message of the movie is to choose love over wealth, but that’s not the message I received. Even the scene where Mr. Coudair and Danny argue over whether love or wealth is best for Rusty and what would make her happier, they never thought to let her make her own decisions. Mr. Coudair uses trickery to sabotage Danny and Rusty’s relationship, while Danny believes he is performing the ultimate act of love by pushing her away…

Will there ever be another star like Gene Kelly? Gene Kelly and Rita Hayworth already sold me! This was good and one of the cutest movies I’ve seen in a little while. It has a very strong first half but sort of falls off in the last act. The numbers and songs are good and cute, towards the end they just felt like they were there. Overall, good and cute and worth a watch!

A rare pairing of Gene Kelly and Rita Hayworth that is, unfortunately, kind of disappointing. They dance well together, especially in a tap number with Phil Silvers, but there’s not enough focus on their dancing. Plus the plot is terribly weak, most notably in the earlier timeline that’s woven throughout. The mirror dance sequence where Gene Kelly dances with himself is sublime and the highlight of the film..

Rita Hayworth literally lights up the screen. She’s so charming. My eyes were focused on her the entire time. Gene Kelly was great too. He has such a beautiful smile. The movie itself was not too enticing, but the Technicolor enhances the film by millions.

Rita Hayworth is a goddamn icon in ways I can’t describe, she embodies the scenery and is able to deliver both a theatrical and real performance throughout this. Kelly has a sequence that is so wickedly impressive to a point where I would consider it in his Top 10 best moments on film, it was pure perfection. Phil Silvers… he’s very much a performer that leaves to be desired, I’d rather have someone else take his place, but alas, what…

Quite fantastic. I loved the musical numbers, the technicolor was amazing too. Overall a lot of fun. I didn’t expect the male leads to be so supportive and understanding, it kept the film light. The reflection dance scene was iconic. The musical number on Broadway too.

Never get into a dance-off with yourself. Sure, you’ll walk away a winner but you’ll also walk away a loser. More of an oyster than a pearl for me

Gene Kelly che balla con se stesso è l’apice del mondo del musical anni 50, per me vale tutto il film.

Danny McGuire (Gene Kelly) is a nightclub owner, who employs many attractive women with extremely long legs. Danny can’t help to be in love with one pair of those long legs, Rusty Parker (Rita Hayworth). Meanwhile the Coudair Publishing Company is celebrating its 50th Anniversary and is looking for ‘Vanity’s Golden Wedding Girl’. ‘Fame and fortune await the girl who will be on the cover.’ The owner of the publication company, John Coudair (Otto Kruger) takes an interest in Rusty,…

When Rusty Parker enters a contest to become a cover girl, her career, as well as her love life with her dancer boyfriend Danny McGuire, are upended. While this film overall is just ok, the plot is very wild, with some flashbacks that I remember throwing me off on my first viewing as well some of the acting from Hayworth that is… interesting, this film is a major milestone in the style of the movie musical, thanks in large part…

i love that in the wide shot of the bridal cover Rita Hayworth is looking away from the camera and then when they do a closeup of the cover she’s looking directly at it.

The dancing, of which there is a lot, is high quality, especially Gene Kelly dancing with his reflection, and the troubled romance is convincing, but I didn’t feel that it all came together in a satisfying manner. There were so many musical numbers that did not advance, nor support the plot, which was so thin that there needed to be so many musical numbers to pad things out. As great as the dancing was, except for the Gene Kelly reflection…

Rusty’s Grandma was such a diva to haunt the narrative like that

I think Rusty, Genius, and Danny in the oyster scene is the most accurate depiction of a trio of friends ever.

Gene Kelly? Dancing with himself? And accomplishing that technical feat in 1944? Oh yeah that’s cinema

Gene Kelly is king of the two boy one girl up down step dance

The story is on the flimsy side, the music somewhat forgettable and mushy, and there’s a couple of uncomfortable culturally insensitive moments. However, in Technicolor is looks dazzling, the staging magnificently opulent, Phil Silvers a delightful comedic presence, and the dance numbers are something else. For the sight and technical marvel of Gene Kelly dancing with himself, it’s worth the admission alone.

“You know something? I love him too.” “Yeah?” “You know why?” “Why?” “Because he’s dumber than me.” gene kelly and rita hayworth in one film?? i adoree this so much. i swear gene kelly’s musicals are always so magical and wholesome. i just love 40s musicals so much.. the costumes, the dancing, the sets, the romance, and of course the technicolor is everything. the colors are so bright and dreamy.. 🩰♡ + rita hayworth is such an angel in this!! she’s so breathtaking. ˖ ݁♬⋆.˚𝄞

LOVELY RITA Cover Girl (1944, USA, Color, 107 min) – – 15 December 2008 Recommended. I was ill last week, which always triggers in me a need for musicals. What can I say? It’s a sickness. Cover Girl was largely an effort to successfully jump start the careers of Gene Kelly and Rita Hayworth, working also with uncredited choreographer Stanley Donen (Singin’ In The Rain). Rita had already done two classic movies and reached a level of dancing unsurpassed in…

I started the day with two early Rita Hayworth films, and it only seems fitting that I finish the night with one of her starring role films. Unlike those first two films, she’s very much the good girl here, alongside Gene Kelly. This is a really good feel good musical and the scene of Gene Kelly dancing with himself is nothing less than amazing! Phil Silvers makes a great comic sidekick to round out the cast. Here is proof that not just MGM could produce great musicals.

Por Oto Lear, 1 de mayo de 1945 En el cine “Avenida” fue estrenada anteayer la película a colores “Las modelos”, en la que la bella actriz y bailarina Rita Hayworth se presenta esplendorosa, atrayente y sentimental. La obra es verdaderamente fastuosa, con detalles de refinamiento dentro de coreografías fantásticas y efectistas, y también con rasgos cómicos que llegan a lo chusco, sugiriendo algunos de los primeros, diálogos entre el yo íntimo y el yo objetivo, suscitados en lucha espiritual…

Por Rafael Taboada Jr., 9 de abril de 1944 La Columbia Pictures nos presentó una cinta con Rita Cansino Hayworth bajo el nombre de “Las Modelos” (The Cover Girls) llena de colorido, hermosos conjuntos y buena actuación por parte de los principales intérpretes. La cinta fue filmada a colores pero en ciertas escenas la fotografía no favorece en nada a la belleza de Rita. La trama no tiene fondo militar que digamos, ya que se refiere a la vida de…
