Chorus girl (Rita Hayworth) is given the opportunity to be a highly paid cover girl, but would remain faithful to her nightclub act if only her boyfriend/club owner (Gene Kelly) would ask her. COVER GIRL boasts music and lyrics by the classic team Jerome Kern and Ira Gershwin and a stunning Hayworth in red-headed Technicolor. Kelly had complete control over the making of this film, and many of his ideas contributed to its lasting success. He removed several of the soundstage walls so that he, Hayworth and Phil Silvers could dance along an entire street in one take. He also used trick photography to dance with his own reflection in the immortal sequence "alter-ego” solo.

This series would not be possible without the generous support of Nina and H.G. Webb.
