New Year's Cinema: Cover Girl

Tonight's Saturday Night Cinema feature film is a jewel that I have been saving for a special occasion like tonight.

Happy New Year!

Cover Girl stars the incomparable and impossibly beautiful Rita Hayworth. Hayworth is positively enchanting, and proves Kelly's equal in the supreme dance sequences. This technicolor bonanza is wonderfully squareball and predictable, and yet it is one of my most favorite musical films. This film is as fresh and brand spanking new as the coming new year. Just deelish.

"Thanks to its Jerome Kern/Ira Gershwin/Yip Harburg score and the luminescence of stars Rita Hayworth and Gene Kelly, Cover Girl has taken on a legendary status in recent years."

COVER GIRL, screen play by Virginia Van Upp; adaptation by Marion Parsonnet and Paul Gangelin; from a story by Erwin Gelsey; directed by Charles Vidor; produced by Arthur Schwartz; music by Jerome Kern; lyrics by Ira Gershwin; song. "Poor John," by Fred W. Leigh and Henry E. Pether.

The light of Hollywood then versus the darkness of Hollywood now.

We will beat back the darkness in the coming new year. Rest assured, we are primed for the fight.

Enjoy your night, enjoy your life!

Rita Hayworth

In 1948 she left her film career to marry Prince Aly Khan, a son of Sultan Mahommed Shah, Aga Khan III, the leader of the Ismaili sect of Shia Islam. This was her second of five marriages. When she filed for divorce from Khan on September 2, 1951, she did so on the grounds of "extreme cruelty, entirely mental in nature."

Hayworth once said she might convert to Islam like her husband. During the custody fight over second daughter Princess Yasmin Aga Khan, Prince Khan said he wanted her raised as a Muslim; whereas Hayworth (who had been raised a Roman Catholic) wanted the child to be a Christian.

In fact, Hayworth had rejected a $1,000,000 offer to raise Yasmin as a Muslim from age seven and allow her to go to Europe for two or three months each year.

"Nothing will make me give up Yasmin's chance to live here in America among our precious freedoms and habits", declared Hayworth. "While I respect the Muslim faith and all other faiths it is my earnest wish that my daughter be raised as a normal, healthy American girl in the Christian faith. There isn't any amount of money in the entire world for which it is worth sacrificing this child's privilege of living as a normal Christian girl here in the United States. There just isn't anything else in the world that can compare with her sacred chance to do that. And I'm going to give it to Yasmin regardless of what it costs."

About

Because


  • "I would give the greatest sunset in the world for one sight of New York's skyline. Particularly when one can't see the details. Just the shapes. The shapes and the thought that made them. The sky over New York and the will of man made visible. What other religion do we need? And then people tell me about pilgrimages to some dank pesthole in a jungle where they go to do homage to a crumbling temple, to a leering stone monster with a pot belly, created by some leprous savage. Is it beauty and genius they want to see? Do they seek a sense of the sublime? Let them come to New York, stand on the shore of the Hudson, look and kneel. When I see the city from my window - no, I don't feel how small I am - but I feel that if a war came to threaten this, I would throw myself into space, over the city, and protect these buildings with my body."
    Ayn Rand
