Fred said that Rita was his favorite dance partner. She learned her steps faster than the other partners. And what a dish! Thank goodness we can still see these beautiful and talented performers. What a shame that society, in general, has lost the concept of grace, charm, manners, clean wit, decorum, and all of the other sappy sentiments that made these movies so great and easy to relate to and aspire to.
Many people think Rita was a model and an actress that learned how to dance for the movies. Wrong. She was a hoofer from the time she was a little girl, and she was extremely talented. She also just happened to be extremely beautiful. She still takes my breath away. Dancers like Rita, Ginger, and Fred, learned how to dance from a very young age and worked hard at it. They also had a lot of talent. They were also very original and innovative. A far cry from what we have nowadays.
Oh Yeah, beautiful Rita!! What a sad way she passed on with the very 1st case of Alzheimers ever recorded. She, MOST DEFINITELY, is one of the most beautiful women God has ever graced upon this earth; even to this day!!
SO THIS ARE THE MARIAH CAREYS SONG N VIDEO ORIGINS :::::IM THINKING OF YOUUUUU IN MY SLEEPLESS SOLITUDE TONIGHT IF ITS WRONG 2 LOVE YOU THEN MY HEART JUST WONT LET ME BE RIGHT CUS IM DROWNED IN YOU AND I WONT PULL THROUGH WITHOUT YOU BY MY SIDE!!! ..................RITA CAN YOU FEEL ME ? IMAGINING IM LOOKING IN YOUR EYES I CAN SEE YOU CLEARLY , VIVIDLY EMBLAZONED IN MY MIND AND YET YOU ARE SO FAR LIKE A DISTANT STAR IM WISHING ON TONIGHT
Fred did pretty well for himself after a producer first meeting him said "Can't act or sing, balding, can dance a little" !!! And Rita--she had to climb up the ladder too. But they were talented stars and rose to the top! Beatiful rumba dance!
@thebuddhamonkey might wanna elaborate on that. 'plastic surgery' makes it sound like she changed her entire face. the ppl at columbia just accentuated her forehead/ hairline. regardless it's not even like her forehead's her best feature. all that makes her so beautiful---- her eyes, lips, etc. are her own.
take a look at Fred Astair, he feels something dancing with Rita Hayworth. She really could dance. Fred and Ginger were great but it was more like work for him.
Rita said there were only two movies she liked of the ones she made. They were the ones she made with Fred. She called them her jewels.The others she laughed at. Sadly, she began to drink because of the pressures put on her by her abusive husbands, the studeo, keeping her daughter in the US, not remembering her lines. She was misdiagnosed as an alcoholic, but they found out she had Alzheimer's disease, and she died at age 68. What a lose for us.
it just doesn't look right i mean nothing against rita fans and of course fred is amazing as usual but it just doesn't look right without ginger.....idk about this one!
Of all the movies she made, she only liked two. She called them her "jewels." The two she made with Fred. She said when she watched the others she laughed. Sadly Rita started drinking, and was misdiagnosed as an Alcoholic. She drank because she had pressure with the studio, husbands, keeping her daughter, started to forget her lines an other things. She was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. Which killed her at age 68. her daughter took care of her.
Well these gals from the old movies, Rita Hayworth, Marilyn Monroe, etc are so feminine, graceful, classy, with childlike innocence in their seductive roles so different from today's actresses that are just the opposite. Rita is just smashingly beautiful to watch, like a real live princess!
I also love that dress. I have this movie on my laptop and I was watching this scene just the other day. I love the way the dress moves. Rita doesn't have an autobiography, but Ginger does. She explains how it's essential for her that the dresses she wears for performances like this are gorgeous yet easy to move in. Look at this dress Miss Hayworth has on. It moves perfectly and it's gorgeous! You know, reading books and watching movies about this era really gives you an appreciation of it.
Ginger was Fred's best dancing partner, but Rita moved better than Ginger. Though she only had 2 movies with Fred Astaire and a few performances with him, she's right up there with Ginger.
@chilvari Love Ginger & Rita. Eleanor Powell was the best female dancer of that time period. In Fred's autobiography she was the one he said that intimidated him. You should look her up on YT. She was called the queen of tap.
@ivegottaheadache you're absolutely right! I just watched one of her perfomances with Fred and she's really light on her feet and she's definetly got rhythm. Thanx :)
for people who know latin & ballroom etc., please tell me what type of music that was? the words Carioca and Samba comes to mind, but I think neither of them is right. Is it a rumba?
"I'd say that what you call "old soul" is rather a fresh and lively spirit, and that's why a three-year-old little girl likes these sort of videos so much."
Think about it this way- for all she knows, this could have come out last month. This could be what is popular now. She hasn't been spoiled yet...
glory days will never return , what happened , such style and class , i hope their will be a rebirth of talent and music , thank you wonderful AAAAA++++++++++
Seen this delightful part of the movie for the first time has triggered in me such beatiful feelings. The choreography is so perfect and sinchronized, their movements are seamless, as if some magician were moving his magic wand, describing their paths in a symphony continuoum of love.
She's good, but hardly Fred's best dancing partner. Far too assertive. Not as lithe as Ginger, nor can she hold she hold a candle to the great Cyd Charisse...
I'm here with my three year old daughter watching these old videos. She loves them...I think she is an old soul and has been here before. She only wants to watch old Lindy hop videos and Fred Astaire. It's like she's mesmerized by it all, she doesn't talk or move, she just watches. I'm 28 and have never seen these movies before, and my three year old has me watching them. She wants me to buy the movies lol
@zora914 I'd say that what you call "old soul" is rather a fresh and lively spirit, and that's why a three-year-old little girl likes these sort of videos so much. It may not be widely appreciated as of 2010, but the fact that something was produced 24 hours ago doesn't make it fresh and new, not at least in terms of art.
@zora914 I just discovered this myself and my 3 year came in and started dancing immediately when she saw it. She mimicked their moves and just loved it. I love it too!
@zora914 Your daughter is amazing and very special! Fred Astaire is a great role model--maybe she'll become a dancer--only if she wants to, of course. Old soul!!
In those days men looked like men and women looked like women. The trouble with society today is that both sexes appear to have metamorphosed and often you can't tell who's what.
I honestly believe that the power America gained after WWII destroyd her...this is America before the war...nd today is America after it...and yet she really could have gained the dream...
See this is what i call real talent,,,not the one people do today....when you see her dancing is like an angel flying effortless in the sky...and Fred Staire,,well i dont comment,,,not necessary to say ..is unique.
Today's aspiring actress at leats should see what a real talent...elegance and ingeniosity is RIta at the best.
Watch the Film ' GREEN MILE ' and this is on the Film love that film great moving ..... moment I'm in heaven ...i'm in heaven ' Classic . Wish i could dance like him ....
Beautiful woman and great actress.. And she could dance. I mean dance that would put Michale Jackson and all those wanabe to shame. She had class.
LIke all beautiful women from Spain :) I also found out today that actors Humprey Bogart and Joan Bennett had Spanish background too. I cant wait to visit Spain in two weeks.
Fred Astaire dancing has magic and dancing with the right partner made it magical! he is missing his special something , he is missing ginger rogers!!!!
Youngins take note. These are legends!! This is how it's done. Geesshhhh I am 37 and I wish that even my generation took notes from these great artists. How did they make the picture look so flawlessly beautiful? Wow!!!
Fred Astaire was and always will be the best dancer ever to perform on this earth. Rita stays up with him and even complements him with her dancing greatness. I thank the person who posted this. Because of people like than we are still able to enjoy to greatness of yesterday.
Fred and Rita are the two most talented dancers that ever dance together. They had the God given talent and worked very hard to be this good. I was born many years after this film but I appreciate almost as well as if I would have been there. It is ironic that they passed away the same year in 1987. May they both rest in peace.
@Inger49 --exactly, in one take! and the music, think of those days....all of them together: Kern, Arlen, the Gerswhins, Porter, Rogers / Hart, Mercer....all the songs different, each tune unique, no common-place music, elegance.....wow...
it just feels like actors and actresses back in the day had to have a number of talents...not just acting, but everything in the entertainment world like dancing and singing. now-a-days even acting sometimes isn't required...they were true entertainers during those times. too bad ppl of my generation don't get this kind of beautiful and quality entertainment.
Film is from 1941. Fred is 20 years older than Rita. He has called her his favorite dance partner. From this clip you can see why. SHE makes him look good and always did but did so without making him look bad.
Looking at the video its also interesting to note that as a dancer she takes a lot of compression to lead. Her professional dance training can also be seen in the fact that she 'spots' on the spins.
Rita Casino was trained from the age of 3 in Flamenco dance by her grandfather who was regarded as the finest exponent of his generation. She was performing on stage and in clubs in Mexico from the age of 15.
She was actually a more professionally trained and experienced dancer than Fred Astaire.
Rita Casino was indeed a US citizen - but she was trained from an early age in the traditional Spanish flamenco style and she established herself as a dancer in Mexico, not the USA.
She changed her name and underwent plastic surgery to make hersefl look more 'Anglo'
Whatever her social and career ambitions her dance and cultural antecedents were Spanish and Latin American rather than North American 'Anglo'
Someone has taken this clip and attached "Hungry Eyes" from Dirty Dancing. It is amazing!!! There is no singing, just beautiful dancing. I miss the stars from those times...I wish we had them back.
i wish i could have lived in the those times. such beautiful movies, stars, music, clothing. rita hayworth is absolutely beautiful, natural beauty no stupid plastic surgery like celebrities now.
Where could I find this grace, beauty, class and elegance these days ...?
Oh, God, let that beautyfull time come back. Fred and Rita: I adore you, you were and are the best dancing couple of all times ... Thanks wthte for this fragment.
Fred Astaire and Rita Hayworth were the best dancing team ever not Astaire and Ginger Rodgers. Fred and Rita danced beautifully together. I could watch them dance all day long.
@xxcandiedapples she was Puerto Rican and they used electrolosis to make her hairline more like an european white woman ,dyed it reddish and told her to stay out of the sun as she would go too dark!Same colouring as Eva Mendes but they were very racist then.She make todays stars look like cleaners!
Yeah, she wasn't Puerto Rican, but I read that she did have the hairline thing done to look more anglo, and also had problems in her first films becuase she looked too ethnic.
aw i love this so much...fred singing to rita and rita sitting there like an angel..then their dancing, and what i love most is rita moving her hips the way she does, i'm dying everytime i see that :D i love her so much :).
¡ Qué espanto ! Oir al final hablar a Fred Astaire y Rita Hayworth con acento español ¡ Que mala costumbre de los españoles de doblar sus películas ! Ya decía Borges que era monstruoso combinar las facciones de Greta Garbo con la voz de Aldonza Lorenzo. Definitivamente me quedo con el baile
I think that to a certain point she carries the weight of the performance. She was firstly dancer than an actress and her father who was a famous flamenco dancer taught her. You can notice a hint of flamenco in her mannerism.
One more comment and then I promise to shut UP....I like to look at this video every couple of months. Check out the wry look that comes over RH's face when FA sings,"no wonder I'm a bit under par".. It's like, she's thinking to herself, "Yeah...riiiiiight.""I think was excellent as an actress and a "reactress"".
marvelous dancing......but dang it all, my favorite parts of this clip are still the shots of RH sitting there being sung to by FA and tthose close ups of her face at the beginning. PS I'll have to remember that term "adultescent because I fit in that category too sometimes.
Of all of great Fred's great dance partners, Rita Hayworth is my favorite. They are so perfect together onscreen, acting , as well as dancing. They brought out something special in each other.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Yes, she spoke Spanish. In fact, that is why she could never do simple arithmetic. She could not understand the teachers so she always counted on her fingers, all thru adulthood.
No, how dare YOU write such crap. I watched an interview with her and SHE said it herself. Whether she is lying I cannot say, but I think you need to bite your mother tongue.
Find a less condescending way of asking and I will try to find it on the internet. It was a TV interview and I remember it well.
Then again, I have nothing to prove to you, because I really don't care what you think. I have to assume you're a teenager. A mature adult would politely inquire where I'd heard that. A teenager or an immature "adultescent" would accuse me of making of "crap". I like Rita. Why would I make that up?
Nah, go look for it yourself. I can't leave links, anyway.
What a lame reply/excuse, plus making it personal, but it's actually just what I expected. There are really not many interviews with Rita and you can be sure that I know those that are available.
The reason why I called it crap is because it doesn't make any sense and it was your comment that sounds condescending - as if you don't like Rita and rather tried to ridicule her. That's why I interfered. Maybe you're just confusing Rita with somebody else. It could be as simple as that.
This is what a beautiful woman looks like! Truly amazing.

I was born many years after this film but I appreciate almost as well as if I would have been there. It is ironic that they passed away the same year in 1987. May they both rest in peace.

@Inger49 --exactly, in one take! and the music, think of those days....all of them together: Kern, Arlen, the Gerswhins, Porter, Rogers / Hart, Mercer....all the songs different, each tune unique, no common-place music, elegance.....wow...

it just feels like actors and actresses back in the day had to have a number of talents...not just acting, but everything in the entertainment world like dancing and singing. now-a-days even acting sometimes isn't required...they were true entertainers during those times. too bad ppl of my generation don't get this kind of beautiful and quality entertainment.

Film is from 1941. Fred is 20 years older than Rita. He has called her his favorite dance partner. From this clip you can see why. SHE makes him look good and always did but did so without making him look bad.

Looking at the video its also interesting to note that as a dancer she takes a lot of compression to lead. Her professional dance training can also be seen in the fact that she 'spots' on the spins.

Rita Casino was trained from the age of 3 in Flamenco dance by her grandfather who was regarded as the finest exponent of his generation. She was performing on stage and in clubs in Mexico from the age of 15.
She was actually a more professionally trained and experienced dancer than Fred Astaire.
She's not 'Latin American' - she's Spanish.
HunterstonB 1 year ago
@HunterstonB She was born in New York so she's American and was a mix of Spanish, English and irish.

Rita Casino was indeed a US citizen - but she was trained from an early age in the traditional Spanish flamenco style and she established herself as a dancer in Mexico, not the USA.
She changed her name and underwent plastic surgery to make hersefl look more 'Anglo'
Whatever her social and career ambitions her dance and cultural antecedents were Spanish and Latin American rather than North American 'Anglo'

@xxcandiedapples she was Puerto Rican and they used electrolosis to make her hairline more like an european white woman ,dyed it reddish and told her to stay out of the sun as she would go too dark!Same colouring as Eva Mendes but they were very racist then.She make todays stars look like cleaners!

@rloeb
Yeah, she wasn't Puerto Rican, but I read that she did have the hairline thing done to look more anglo, and also had problems in her first films becuase she looked too ethnic.

¡ Qué espanto ! Oir al final hablar a Fred Astaire y Rita Hayworth con acento español ¡ Que mala costumbre de los españoles de doblar sus películas ! Ya decía Borges que era monstruoso combinar las facciones de Greta Garbo con la voz de Aldonza Lorenzo. Definitivamente me quedo con el baile

I think that to a certain point she carries the weight of the performance. She was firstly dancer than an actress and her father who was a famous flamenco dancer taught her. You can notice a hint of flamenco in her mannerism.

One more comment and then I promise to shut UP....I like to look at this video every couple of months. Check out the wry look that comes over RH's face when FA sings,"no wonder I'm a bit under par".. It's like, she's thinking to herself, "Yeah...riiiiiight.""I think was excellent as an actress and a "reactress"".
danke1217 1 year ago 3
marvelous dancing......but dang it all, my favorite parts of this clip are still the shots of RH sitting there being sung to by FA and tthose close ups of her face at the beginning. PS I'll have to remember that term "adultescent because I fit in that category too sometimes.

Of all of great Fred's great dance partners, Rita Hayworth is my favorite. They are so perfect together onscreen, acting , as well as dancing. They brought out something special in each other.

Great! I have seen Fred million times but this is the first time I saw Rita dance!! She's marvellous! They should have made more films together.
I wonder if Rita could speak Spanish herself (here she's dubbed) She was of Spanish origin after all.
genatzvalee 1 year ago

Yes, she spoke Spanish. In fact, that is why she could never do simple arithmetic. She could not understand the teachers so she always counted on her fingers, all thru adulthood.

Rita did speak some Spanish but her mother tongue was English - so of course she understood the teachers!

No, how dare YOU write such crap. I watched an interview with her and SHE said it herself. Whether she is lying I cannot say, but I think you need to bite your mother tongue.

Find a less condescending way of asking and I will try to find it on the internet. It was a TV interview and I remember it well.
Then again, I have nothing to prove to you, because I really don't care what you think. I have to assume you're a teenager. A mature adult would politely inquire where I'd heard that. A teenager or an immature "adultescent" would accuse me of making of "crap". I like Rita. Why would I make that up?
Nah, go look for it yourself. I can't leave links, anyway.
mundymanor 1 year ago
What a lame reply/excuse, plus making it personal, but it's actually just what I expected. There are really not many interviews with Rita and you can be sure that I know those that are available.
The reason why I called it crap is because it doesn't make any sense and it was your comment that sounds condescending - as if you don't like Rita and rather tried to ridicule her. That's why I interfered. Maybe you're just confusing Rita with somebody else. It could be as simple as that.
