You Were Never Lovelier

7 years, 9 months ago at Jul 24 7:22
Plenty of romantic musical comedies are built upon the flimsiest baubles, putting all of their strengths in movie star personas, high-energy choreography, top-notch production values, and a strong score. You Were Never Lovelier is built upon this formula, and it’s an utterly charming and beguiling little song-and-dance show.   It comes the closest to recapturing the megawatt power of earlier... read more

Bob Davis (Fred Astaire), an American dancer in Buenos Aires, Argentina, finds himself desperate for work after losing all his money. He takes a gig at a wedding, hoping to impress the bride's father, Eduardo Acuña (Adolphe Menjou), a local club owner who has decreed that his daughters must marry in order of age. Eduardo eventually agrees to allow Bob to perform at his club, but only under the condition that he play suitor to his second-oldest daughter, the beautiful Maria (Rita Hayworth).

You Were Never Lovelier

“Plenty of romantic musical comedies are built upon the flimsiest baubles, putting all of their strengths in movie star personas, high-energy choreography, top-notch production values, and a strong score. You Were Never Lovelier is built upon this formula, and it’s an utterly charming and beguiling little song-and-dance show.   It comes the closest to recapturing the megawatt power of earlier Fred Astaire triumphs like Top Hat and Swing Time, replacing the chorus-girl-made-good Ginger Rogers with the romantic-and-erotic Rita Hayworth. They partner together beautifully, giving Astaire a ballroom dancer on his technical level. Yet there’s a tradeoff here, while they meet in perfect synchronicity on the dance floor, their chemistry never quite reaches the swooning romance of Astaire an” read more
