I saw this doc. at the Egyptian Theater in Hollywood, CA, and when it premiered on TCN. .
Included is some truly original and magical imagery: home movies, screentest footage, and interviews with Anthony Franciosa, Marc Platt, and Juanita Mooreand. The late, great Ann Miller sheds light on Rita's unique temperament and sense of humor. Eli Wallach shares his ideas about the Hayworth magic. And Kim Basinger's narration haunts as if it were Hayworth's own joyless song.
Her famous Life Magazine pin-up could not be included in this film:-( but another version is used. Final thoughts, this is the best documentary I have seen on Rita Hayworth. It captures her unique essence and explores her lasting legacy. I thank Elaine Archer for making such a wonderful homage to Rita Hayworth.
