  1. I looked this film up after watching it and it only has 35% on rotten tomatoes. I love this picture and have seen it many times now. It’s one of the best I’ve seen of Rita and I love the dance scenes in the film.

  2. I was born in 1957, so this is all new to me but i like it !!! My mom loved musical movies , so now i got the same feeling and love for these movies !!! Thank you !!! ❤❤❤😊😊😊 L.M.

  22. STAR POWER that is Rita ,best screen dancer beautiful to a fault, the Love Goddess , Venus de Milo. Jean Louis my dresses fall perfectly on her shes so perfectly slim. Provocation was an Hayworth speciality, there was never anything cheap or vulgar about her. If Rita was the heroine we never cared how the movie was we were thrilled just. to see her beauty n dancing talent.❤

    American films are racist – dancer dancing to siegheil.

    German Sieg Heil! – "Long Live the Victory!" or "Glory to Victory!" is another common slogan shouted along with the Nazi salute.
    American actresses applaud him.
    Nuremberg. Humanity has sentenced Nazi criminals to death and hanging. Millions of people were destroyed by the Nazis – children, mothers, fathers were burned in concentration camps.

  28. What a gorgeous creation of a film that resonates in particular for someone who has spent half a lifetime in the US and the other in Britain. This story has such a wistful poignancy, loosely based on The Windmill Theatre, which really did remain open during The Blitz. It was depicted again more recently in "Mrs. Henderson Presents" with Dame Judi Dench in 2005. The Windmill is now a restaurant, bar and cabaret that reopened in 2021 in Soho. Rita Hayworth lights up the screen, as she does in all her films, with her mesmerising dancing and pulls at our heartstrings with the wonderful Lee Bowman. Janet Blair is radiant as Judy and not enough superlatives can be said for the dancing of Marc Platt, who lived a very long life, unlike his character. Thank you for bringing this marvellous gem to a new generation.

  30. This is such a great produced musical capturing the mood of the wartime in the 40;s. Actually made in 1944, at the time Rita was in early pregnancy having to get all the dance numbers filmed early, as the movie goes on, Rita's figure starts to change and covered up by her costumes to conceal her figure. She delivered Rebecca Welles in December 1944 prior to the release of the film. Rita was at her gorgeous and talented best in this film…..what great dancing she did and beautiful as ever in technicolor.

  34. WARNING: THIS MOVIE SHOULD BE RATED PG-13! IT HAS A VERY SAD AND DRASTIC ENDING THAT CHILDREN SHOULD NOT SEE! IT IS NOT YOUR TYPICAL 1940's FILM! I WILL GET A LOT OF HATE FOR THIS BUT I WOULD NOT LET MY YOUNG CHILDREN WATCH THIS MOVIE BASED SOLELY ON IT'S CONCLUSION!!!!!

  39. Very much a movie of its time. How many of us were kids during WWII, learning the configurations of enemy planes, ducking under desks when the sirens went off, waiting for our block warden Dad returned from his night patrol…
