This is a little video about the romance of Rita Hayworth and Victor Mature with candid pictures and clips of their musical "My Gal Sal" (1942).
They met on the set of this production and started dating after Victor won Rita's affections with his humour and charm. But soon Victor had to leave for his WWII service in the coast guard. While Rita promised to wait for him she didn't know, yet, that the boy wonder and director Orson Welles was determined to marry her and persistent in getting a date with her no matter how long she even refused to answer his phone calls.
When Rita finally gave up her resistance she fell in love with Welles and married him instead in 1943. Victor was very upset when he got news that Rita was seeing somebody else and he was quoted in magazines as saying "I wonder who's kissing her now."
Music: Perry Como's "I Wonder Who's Kissing Her Now"
I love Vic & Rita... shame it didn't work out but you can't have it all. Lovely video though!
