Aug 7, 2024 · Release Date: 07/30/2024. MSRP: $34.49. The Production: 4.5/5. Orson Welles’ 1947 film noir The Lady from Shanghai is a very confusing film, its history almost as confusing. Originally, Columbia Pictures head Harry Cohn snagged the film rights to pulp novel If I Die Before I Wake from producer William Castle (given an Associate Producer ...
Aug 1, 2016 · Rita Hayworth offers an excellent performance as the title character. Fun-loving, brassy, and confident up to a point and yet capable of quick fury and desperation, Miss Sadie offered Hayworth a really three-dimension character which she does proud. She handles her musical numbers well naturally using Jo Ann Greer’s vocal assistance as was also the case with her other 1950’s films which ...
May 3, 2023 · The Production: 3.5/5. A romantic comedy-drama of some charm but little substance, Raoul Walsh’s The Strawberry Blonde offers a first-rate cast and some lilting turn-of-the-20 th century tunes in its flashback story of the road not taken. Warner Bros.’ stable of top stars and able character actors are abetted with Columbia’s Rita Hayworth ...

Aug 22, 2020 · 12 Legendary Performances Rita Hayworth is the epitome of Hollywood glamour with an unparalleled on-screen presence whose talent was only surpassed by her beauty.

Feb 8, 1999 · The first, You'll Never Get Rich (1941) is the topic at hand, and the second, You Were Never Lovelier (1942), both had him paired with a female lead that many might not think of as a dancer. But that was Rita Hayworth's background. This romantic comedy with some terrific musical numbers has been beautifully restored by Columbia, and reaches us ...
Mar 19, 2023 · Notably missing here are an appreciation by Simon Callow, an excerpt from a 1970 French TV interview with Rita Hayworth, an image gallery and a Trailers from Hell commentary by Joe Dante, all of which are present on the Region Free Indicator Blu-ray release and an introduction by the late Robert Osborne on the TCM Blu-ray release. Overall: 4.5/5
May 5, 2016 · As his unhappy wife Judy, Rita Hayworth has her first chance in an A-film and does a fine job of it, holding her own with the seasoned pros who surround her. Sig Rumann offers early enjoyment as the hotel/pub/store owner Dutchy though he tends to fade into the background later in the movie. Noah Beery Jr., Don “Red” Barry, John Carroll, Allyn Joslyn, and Victor Kilian all contribute ...
Jul 10, 2013 · Rita Hayworth on loan from Columbia (and it must have been galling to Darryl Zanuck to have to pay Columbia five times her normal salary in order to borrow her when he could have had her under his own studio contract had he not dismissed her from Fox in 1937) is all flashing eyes and teeth as the “other woman.” She looks magnificently wild tossing her red hair around (though she does about ...
Feb 8, 1999 · This edition has a similarly excellent encode of the film with lossless audio, but brings back the Bogdanovich track and interview; plus the addition of a new interview with biographer/actor Simon Callow (who appears on many other Welles releases), a clip of Rita Hayworth from a 70s show, and a nice booklet containing essays and an excerpt from William Castle's memoir (he was an associate ...
