I CAN'T EVEN BEGIN TO THINK OF A REASON WHY THE REVIEWER BEFORE ME CALLED THIS A BOMB- I HAVE A FEELING THAT THEY DON'T LIKE MUSICALS-IT WASN'T KNOWN THEN THAT RITA WAS DUBBED BECAUSE SHE COULD SING AND NAN WYNN'S SINGING VOICE WAS CLOSE TO RITA'S OWN-IB FACT IT WAS 20TH CENTURY FOX THAT STARTED THE WHOLE THING OF WYNN DUBBING HAYWORTH SIMPLY BECAUSE HAYWORTH HAD BECOME A HUGE STAR THE SECOND BLOOD AND SAND WAS RELEASED-SO EVEN THOUGH SHE RECORDED HER SINGING SCENES LIVE,SHE WOULD BE BUSY WHEN SHE HAD TO DUBB THEM, BUT DID RECORD THEM-MATURE DID HIS OWN SINGING TOO- HE WASN'T DUBBED- THIS WAS THE MOVIE THAT MADE RITA HAYWORTHA HUGE STAR,JUST LIKE SWEET ROSIE O'GRADY DID FOR BETTY GRABLE-SHE DANCE'S UP A STORM AND THE ONE THING SHE ALWAY'S DID WAS LIGHT THE SCREEN UP AND SAT ON FIRE - I LOVE THE BEACH SCENE WHERE SHE BECOMES THE CONDUCTOR OF A TRAIN AND WHEN SHE BENDS OVER AND STARTS MOVING LIKE A CHOO CHOO TRAIN-HER SMILE IS ABSOLUTE MAGIC-AND IT'S EASY TO SEE WHY SHE DROVE THE TROOPS CRAZY WHEN SHE DANCED BECAUSE SHE SEEMED TO LIGHT THE WHOLE PLACE UP-WHEN THE MAID TELLS HER THE MESSAGE FROM COUNTESS ROSSINI AND HAYWORTH SLOWLY TURNS FROM THE DOOR TO THE CAMERA WHILE GOING-OOOOOOO! YOU KNOW MATURE IS IN TROUBLE AND WHEN SHE'S AWAKENED BY THE SINGERS SENT BY MATURE-SHE IS ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS AND I WISH YOU WERE NEVER LOVELIER HAD BEEN FILM IN COLOR AND THE SCENE OF HER SINGING DEARLY BELOVED WHILE CHANGING INTO A SHEER NEGLEGE AND THEN FALLING BACKWARDS ONTO HER BED TO FINISH THE SONG- IF THAT HAD BEEN SHOT IN COLOR IT WOULD HAVE MADE HER THE LOVE GODDESS LONG BEFORE GILDA-THIS IS A TRULY GOOD AND VERY WELL MADE MUSICAL THAT WAS AN OSCAR WINNER AND ONE OF THE BIGGEST MONEY MAKERS OF 1942- ENJOY HAYWORTH AND MATURE AND GET MAD AT THE SHOTTY WAY ZANICK TREATED THE BEAUTIFUL CAROLE LANDIS WHO ALSO LIT THE SCREEN UP FOR THE LITTLE TIME WE GET TO SEE HER-ENJOY MY GAL SAL - YOU WON'T REGRET.
