Watch: Cover Girl 1944 123movies, Full Movie Online – Rusty Parker, a red-headed leggy dancer at Danny McGuire’s Night Club in Brooklyn, wants to be a successful Broadway star. She enters a contest to be a ‘Cover Girl’ as a stepping-stone in her career. She reminds the publisher, John Coudair, of his lost love, showgirl Maribelle Hicks. He was engaged to Maribelle, although his wealthy society mother made fun of her. Maribelle left John at the altar when she saw the piano at her wedding. It reminded her of the piano-player she truly loved. Rusty is Maribelle’s granddaughter and there are musical sequences with Maribelle dancing to songs from the beginning of the 20th century. Rusty lands on the cover of her grandmother’s former fiancé’s magazine (as a bride). She is pursued by Coudair’s pal, the wealthy theatrical producer, Noel Wheaton. He produces a lavish musical to star Rusty, surrounded by real cover girls of the mid 1940’s. Rusty runs down a huge spiral into the arms of dozens of men who seem clumsy next to her ethereal dancing. But her success threatens Danny McGuire. He expressed his distress that his girlfriend will find success without him in Kelly’s famous dance with himself, ‘Alter Ego’. He and his sidekick, Genius, leave New York and entertain soldiers fighting in World War II. Rusty agrees to marry Noel, dazzled by success, security, and his power and money. But she drinks and loses weight because her heart belongs to Danny. She receives a symbolic pearl with great power and tells Coudair and Wheaton that she must spend her life with the man she loves..
Plot: A nightclub dancer makes it big in modeling, leaving her dancer boyfriend behind.

Mediocre Musical.
I know it has Gene Kelly in it. I know it has Rita Hayworth in it. I know Phil Silvers provides comic relief and Jerome Kern wrote the songs and Ira Gershwin wrote the lyrics, but I’ve tried several times to get my appreciative apparatus wrapped around this movie and can’t do it.

Kern has provided a terrific, soaring tune, “Long Ago and Far Away,” which doesn’t involve a dance, and the others are without distinction. I mean, the guy composed like nobody else. For “Roberta” he wrote, among other tunes, “Dearly Beloved” and “I’m Old Fashioned”, icons in the Great American Songbook. Except for “Long Ago and Far Away,” there’s nothing like that here.

Gene Kelly oozes an easy-going charm but his athletic dancing here still looks like it came out of vaudeville, his arms held out at an awkward angle. He would improve quantumly over the next few years. Rita Hayworth is gorgeous but is stuck in a corny part in a corny plot.

Corniness, in the sense of reflecting old-fashioned values, isn’t bad per se. I don’t think there’s anything more juvenile than the story behind “On The Town.” But the book means a lot. If the story behind the numbers isn’t engaging, it’s difficult for the numbers to succeed. Not “impossible” — look at Fred and Ginger’s best — but difficult.

Unquestionably, one of the reasons for the evidently undying popularity of “Singin’ In The Rain” is that it’s funny as hell, quite aside from the numbers themselves — which are also light-hearted and well integrated into the plot. “Singin’ In The Rain” makes a viewer feel HAPPY in a way that this film simply doesn’t. Who wants to see unhappy singers and dancers? I’ll tell you who wants to watch unhappy musicals. Opera fans, that’s who!

There’s not a somber moment in “Singin’ In The Rain”, no serious conflict at all. The more somber a musical film gets, the less entertaining it is. “An American in Paris” was much more ambitious but memorable mostly for its expensive sets. Then there is the dismal “It’s Always Fair Weather.”

I’d like to recommend this because nobody is better at projecting a kind of flamboyant joy than Gene Kelly. That smile belongs in a toothpaste commercial. But, really, “Cover Girl” isn’t much more than routine.
