Rita Hayworth Salome Tribute

This was supposed to be up yesterday in time for Rita's birthday, but it had to come a day later! I love this film of Rita's, especially the chemistry between her and Stewart Granger.I hope you enjoy my tribute.

What a gorgeous Goddess! Not of this world, her beauty was legendary

[@dudley5533]

The epitome of all dancers......Rita is legendary for her fabulous dancing, whether as Terpsichore, Salome and all her performances with Astaire, Kelly, Platt, choreographers Jack Cole, Hermes Pan or without a partner, she was the best, plus the most beautiful.

カメラリハーサルをするより、いきなり本番に持ち込んだ方が、彼女の芸は生かされそうです。

Rita's "Dance of the Seven Veils" was well-done, but the film was one of the most laughable Biblical epics of the 1950s. In this one, she was dancing to turn on the lurid Charles Laughton and "sav" the head of John the Baptist. The backstory was that the heads of Columbia Pictures, Harry and Jack Cohn, were having an argument about making a Bible picture after seeing the successes of "Samson and Delilah," :Qup Vadis" and "David and Bathsheba." Harry, the showman, wanted a big one for his big star, Rita. Jack, the businessman, sniffed and said, "If you're such a big shot about the Bible, say the Lord's Prayer." Fifty bucks says you can't. Harry said, "Bet I can." Then Harry went on to recite the Lord's Prayer" "Now I lay me down to sleep..." Jack pulled money out of his wallet and said, "You win."
