WOW, her eyes and costume sparkle ! Great use of color in this scene. Ginger was a true and confident entertainer.

PURE CLASS!!!

I prefer this to Julie Andrews' version in "Star" (although I think "Star" is an underrated movie). There's too much going on in Julie's version. It distracts from the wit of the lyric which is the whole point of the song. And I think this is probably closer to what Gertrude Lawrence did on the stage.

so sexy but in a gal next door kinda lady of Beverly ma

Great song and great dialogue, but I have to wonder if, today, this would be considered harassment. It seems like it's on the borderline.

Film did not get good reviews and actually stunk.

35,000 dress

While Raoul Pene DuBois designed all the costumes in the musical numbers, it's the mink dress, designed by Edith Head that sticks in my mind.

❤❤❤💐

Nunca mais na história do cinema vamos ter uma atriz canta e excelente bailarina como Ginger Rogers Ele era cometa e unica

Love classic music

This just reinforces my childhood infatuation with Joan Leslie. She had a beauty that captivated every scene she was ever in.

Genius❤

I can't imagine how much money it would cost to shoot this number in 2023. It's a trip.

Название этого фильма на русском языке.

Her legs were a work of art.

The one number in the movie worthy of the source material. In the jury box you'll notice Pepito the Spanish Clown ("Jenny is out of place"), who appeared in the pilot for "I Love Lucy" and then in an early episode.

Really interesting contrast to the Julie Andrews version in "Star!," which is the only one I'm familiar with. And the orchestrations and rhythms are so straight out of the 1940's that I could imagine the Andrews Sisters performing the song, but they still worked just fine.

Best legs EVER!

I've read that Joan was only about 18 when this film was made during WWll. She appeared on the vaudville stage as a very young girl with her family. Perhaps that's why she was so good at projecting a more mature image in films when needed. (I also read that Fred wasn't too happy about the age difference.... Joan being mature 18 and Fred being a young 45).

Any idea where the whole colourized movie can be watched?

Oh THAT DRESS!!!

Desus Mero and Jeff brought me here 😜

This is Ginger at her commercial peak, the highest paid woman in America. Five years after parting with Fred- who might have played Ray Milland's part in a reunion- she dominated this show as much as Streisand in 'Funny Girl', putting her three anemic suitors in the shade. Those who had called her a chorine who got lucky by becoming Astaire's love interest had to eat their words. The bosses reckoned Gertrude Lawrence, like Ethel Merman or Mary Martin, was too stagy and could not dial down for the camera. Ginger never had that problem.

Ginger looks amazing - the outfit made of male minks - Ginger notes in her book the outfit had to be shortened as she in her 4" heels - found it too long once they changed the flooring on the scene.

Ray Milland is the real surprise. What versatility!!

love Rita Hayworth dancing singing video

Fred Astaire was one of the greatest dancer's in the world, but sorry......never liked his voice!

Overproduced! Too much to look at. What a flop.

The set and costumes are beautiful but the prelude to the song is embarrassing to watch and the whole production is leadan and very dated even for that year. I actually prefer Julie Andrews version of the "Saga of Jenny" song in the movie "Star", although, much like this film, it was a failure too.

I don’t know where the rumor came from that this wasn’t Ginger Rogers singing, but I can tell you right now it’s not true. As far as I know she was never dubbed. It’s also a little-known fact that she was very good at throwing her voice and making it sound different. There’s a reason Walt Disney himself wanted her to voice Alice in “Alice in Wonderland” and why she was sought out for the lead in “The Major and the Minor”. But this was a good movie. I’ve been somewhat interested lately in movies where an attractive character goes out of their way to appear unattractive while secretly wanting to be appreciated for their looks, and then I stumble onto this. It’s actually quite fascinating if you ask me. And here’s the thing. Everybody here keeps talking about how talented and beautiful Ginger Rogers is in this number. And I believe that’s the whole point. The person we see preforming, that IS Ginger Rogers. She can sing, dance, wear pretty clothes, look beautiful without trying, and be charismatic enough to win over a courtroom straight out of a Looney Tunes cartoon. That’s who she WANTS to be. But then when she wakes up she’s just plain old Liza Elliot, the workaholic who’s only talent is being well organized and is never paid any mind by men, and due to her subconscious fears is way too terrified to do anything about it. That’s exactly what she sees herself, and her life in general, as once she snaps out of it. I think we’re all like that to a degree, fantasizing about the kind of people we wish we could be while being stuck as our old, boring selves. But here’s what you gotta remember. Ms. Elliot IS actually capable of becoming the woman she is in her dreams, but it’s her past trauma that crushes her attempts to do anything about it. Just keep that in mind, that you may very well have the capability to become the person you wish you could be, if you just look a little harder at yourself. Also, the design for this scene is fantastic. It looks like something straight out of a cartoon, and frankly like something you would actually SEE if you were having a dream about the circus. Most of it doesn’t make any sense, but it’s a dream, it’s not SUPPOSED to make any sense. And those bright colors, it’s true, what has happened to Hollywood? If this were made today I guarantee the whole thing would be completely CGI and dark. I don’t know why, but all the special effects people today just seem so obsessed with making everything DARK. The golden age of Hollywood just had a kind of whimsy to it that was lost a long time ago. TL;DR: Great movie, great number. Thank you Ginger Rogers, and all of your mostly extinct kind of grace and talent from a bygone era.

A Mulher mais linda que existiu na História do.Cinema

Good heavens, that's Ray Milland the year before he won an Oscar!

This movie; like many during WWII; boosted morale to those who's loved ones were in harms way. 1943 was a tough and tragic year for all our servicemen -- especially in the air over Fortress Europe. Films and songs such as this one, should never be allowed to fade into obscurity. Eternal thanks Joan Leslie and Fred Astaire.

4:22 Rita so sexy hungry

Hermes! ❤ I cannot tell you how much I love Hermes Pan. So glad we got to see him dance, and not just behind the scenes. He moves beautifully. What a lovely human being.

This was so much better than Julie Andrew's rendition of "Lady in the Dark"! Ginger was the best!!

Earlier in the movie the song is sweetly sung by Joan, and it's a good set because the band's instruments all light up!

This costume was intentionally made to be totally over-the-top. In the plot, it's a costume from a Hollywood musical that Ginger's character has access to, at the fashion magazine where she works. As I remember, she's scornful of how excessive it is, but then actually puts it on and kind of gives in to its glamor.

Interesting to see Ray Milland in a musical sequence. Otherwise, this version of the song is not one-tenth as good as Julie's performance of the number in the movie STAR!, imho.

This is a great sassy version, with the Jazz feel and syncopation well forward. It’s definitely Ginger singing, but I’m betting there were a lot of filters, re dubbing and other tricks in the studio. Also the studio ambient sound was really different than the preceding scene.

Rita was just soooooo talented and beautiful. How sad she never found a man that really loved and appreciated her and gave her the security she so needed. Hollywood is just all about EGO and money.

I remember I've read somewhere that Hermes was really gay , I mean homosexual but kept it as a secret since he was very religious Is it true he had something for Fred? You know they had a partnership for a long time

Interesting to c Hayworth subbing for Grable or Faye. She is certainly a more sensual dancer!!

How old was GR when she died? Not 76? Haha

Amazing. This was all brand new to me. And I thought I had seen all of GRs films?
