Columbia , 1944

Collectors remain enchanted by the cheerful and vivacious Rita Hayworth, who graces this vibrant poster. She stars alongside the equally beloved Gene Kelly in this comedy/musical directed by Charles Vidor. In the film, Hayworth portrays Rusty Parker, a woman determined to become a Broadway sensation. To realize her dream, she must depart from the modest dinner theater where she is employed and bid farewell to her true love, Danny McGuire, portrayed by Kelly. During the time of this film's release, Hayworth was predominantly recognized for her singing and dancing prowess. Nevertheless, it wasn't long before her aptitude for playing femme fatale roles was revealed in such iconic films as Gilda (1946), The Lady from Shanghai (1947), and Salome (1953).

This remarkable image has been meticulously restored onto linen, with the primary concern being some wear along the folds. Notably, there is a quarter-sized hole in an upper crossfold within Hayworth's left upper arm. The restoration has been executed superbly, allowing the poster to display magnificently.
