Rita was playing a rather worn-out shady lady in this movie, so her tacky dress is just perfect for the character. They were going for realism, not over-the-top glamor, like Gilda.
@scotpens Wow, a reply came after one month.... i just realised that the title is also in the description - what was i thinking?...:-) many thanks anyway!
Could anyone hear out the lyrics of it, and write it for me? I'm not an english speaker, so I can't understand some of it:( There are no lyrics on the internet...
I havent seen this clip before, its such a great song. I do agree that the dress is very unflattering on her. I think she looked better with longer red hair, but she still looks gorgeous. She was so vivacious
I think my favorite part of this clip is Rita's facial expressions from 0:26 to 0:28. It's priceless, along with the rest of two minutes and 16 seconds of this video.
well, sorry but that is the truth...harry cohn was furious about her not wanting to wear a girdle above the dress to make her look thinner...and don´t forget rita was in concurrence in 1952 with the very curvy marilyn and with ava gardner who really had a fabulous body...if one loves rita one does not love bony girls like a. hepburn was, but a good waistline is important for a filmstar....
Yes, but this is hardly heavy...that's my point! In Hollywood a size 8 is considered obese, which quite frankly is frightening but we all know Harry cohn was a major heiney anyway...there both gone so live and let live...all the best!
Thanks for this post. She was one of a kind. I have always loved her. The heat is on with Rita Hayworth.

She is an amazing actress. If only they would have let her sing because I think she would have been just as good!

I think the unflattering hairstyle and less-than-fantastic dress are suitable given the nature of her character.

Can you tell me what movie is this?

It's "Miss Sadie Thompson" (1953), the third film version of Somerset Maugham's short story "Rain."

I hear Gloria Swanson's version is WELL worth checking out- it's a pity Crawford's "Rain" isn't more widely available...

You haven't seen this until you've seen it in it's original 3D release. Advertisements proclaimed "Rita Hayworth turns it on in 3D" and she did!!!
