EXCERPTS FROM THE PRESS :
Hayworth is the subject of the hour-long Turner Classic Movies documentary “Rita” which is so riveting that it ends before you realize the excessive tact with which it mentions almost everyone who rotated through the actress's orbit. “Rita” does everything a documentary on a glamorous movie star should do: It focuses on its subject's beauty and looks beautiful doing it. TCM's original documentary is a must-see for Rita Hayworth fans. A new Turner Classic Movies documentary, “Rita” is the first ever comprehensive documentary on the glamour girl who starred in such classics as “Gilda”, “Cover Girl” and “Pal Joey. “Rita” is a poignant documentary that presents a compelling profile of the amazing and ultimately tragic life of a legendary Hollywood icon and an extraordinary woman. Rita Hayworth is shown here in all her glory: her films, yes, but also rare interviews and plenty of newsreel coverage of her memorable romances. She was a movie star by the time she was 20, but Elaina Archer's fine documentary shows that she was never entirely happy with it. WHAT TO WATCH TODAY'S PICK THE BEST OF THE WEEK DON'T MISS |
