You Were Never Lovelier
»rank: 18189
Chroniques et points de vue: Essential Video:The devil is in the details when it comes to this effervescent Fred Astaire and Rita Hayworth musical. The slight storyline is a hook upon which to hang dance sequences, bits of humor, and songs by Jerome Kern and Johnny Mercer. Set in Buenos Aires, it's a remake of an Argentine feature from the previous year and followed You'll Never Get Rich. Astaire stars as a professional hoofer and Hayworth is Adolphe Menjou's second oldest daughter. The wealthy businessman won't let his youngest daughters marry until ...

»rank: 61597
Chroniques et points de vue:From :'This is Mrs. Norman Maine,' proclaims Janet Gaynor, fighting back the tears as she addresses her fans while still rocked by personal tragedy. lt's the kind of grandiose gesture we love in a movie star, and the original A Star ls Born is gloriously grand with a cynical undercurrent. William Wellman, working from a sharp screenplay cowritten by the acerbic Dorothy Parker, strikes a balance between romantic glamour and tragic melodrama, all accomplished with a barely concealed caustic wit. lt's a Cinderella story of a fresh-faced farm ...

Cooper was a Hemingway friend in real life, ...
