Cover Girl

In "Cover Girl," Gene Kelly stars alongside Rita Hayworth as Danny McGuire and Rusty Parker, a chorus girl who captures the attention of magazine editor John Coudair (played by Lee Bowman), who is smitten with her resemblance to his recently deceased grandmother Maribelle Hicks. As Rusty's fame grows, she must choose between her love for Danny and her newfound stardom. With lavish costumes, energetic dance routines, and songs by Jerome Kern and Ira Gershwin, Hayworth shines in this 1944 musical romantic comedy that tells the story of a girl who trades her life as a nightclub dancer for fame on Broadway.
