You'll Never Get Rich (1941)

This is a delightful film. I love the premise, and Rita Hayworth is completely dynamic in this. You'll Never Get Rich is, of course, a pro-war, pro-soldier bit of business, it being 1941, but this film is not hampered by jingoism or pro-war sentiments, even if the entire plot is designed as a kind of pro-military diversion. You'll Never Get Rich sees the army as sort of a funny place.

The film contains several excellent tap numbers, some with Fred Astaire alone and several with Rita Hayworth and Astaire together. There's even one in which Astaire never enters the shot with the crew of black musicians so that they can be cut out for especially racist markets. This is a really excellent movie, though, and I enjoyed myself thoroughly.

Incidentally, I've no idea what the title means. It hasn't a thing to do with the plot.
