You Were Never Lovelier (UK-import)
A remake of an Argentine film 'the Gay Senorita, You Were Never Lovelier was a follow-up to the 1942 hit You'll Never Get Rich, and marked the last screen pairing of Astaire and Hayworth. In You Were Never Lovelier, she proves once again to be a stunning dancer, especially in 'shorty George and I m Old Fashioned, a sensuous moonlit duet with Astaire that is the high point of the film. Like Astaire, Hayworth was a perfectionist and they spent days going over each number. It was difficult to find sufficient rehearsal space on Columbia's stages, so the studio rented a funeral parlor at a nearby Hollywood cemetery. Every time a funeral came through, rehearsals would stop until the last of the mourners had left! Their perfectionism paid off, however, in elegant and precise dance sequences.
