Product Description

dored by millions all over the world, Rita Hayworth was an incredibly beautiful and gifted actress and dancer. One of Hollywood's most famous film stars, she became known as the "Love Goddess" after her memorable role in Gilda (1946), the movie that forever immortalized her on the silver screen. This first-rate femme fatale was brash and openly sexual on camera, but charming and sincere - shy even - off the set. By continually reinventing herself and transforming her screen image, Rita remained in the spotlight with a career that spanned over four decades. Using personal home movies and never-before-seen footage, Rita thoroughly chronicles Hayworth's public triumphs and private struggles. And behind-the-scenes glimpses into her personal life reveal her tumultuous marriages to high-profile men Orson Welles and Prince Aly Aga Khan, among others. Narrated by Kim Basinger, this touching and captivating documentary includes interviews with Nicole Kidman, Hayworth's daughter Princess Yasmin Aga Khan, close friend Ann Miller; co-stars Tab Hunter, Anthony Franciosa, Juanita Moore, Eli Wallach and Marc Platt; directors Vincent Sherman, George Sidney and Delbert Mann; and more. Rare outtakes, color camera tests and behind-the-scenes footage spanning Rita's entire career including her earliest appearance dancing on film; Rita's voice narrating excerpts of the program her own story in her own words. Never-before-seen home movies from her family's private collection. Over 300 photographs - many rare or never-before-seen.

A gentle and kind woman

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 2, 2021

I found this documentary on Rita Hayworth to be informative and touching. I've read multiple books on Rita Hayworth and this documentary presents interviews about her as well as her own voice to bring the subject to life to compliment the various books about her for those who have studied her and her work. The video treated the subject with sensitivity and one came away with the sense of "knowing" Rita Hayworth better than you did before seeing it. It was sad to see her go through frustrating marriages as, by her own words, she wanted to be loved just like anybody else. Rita Hayworth was unappreciated by her studio( other than her earning potential for its coffers) considering some of the movies she was cast in. She was a consummate professional who cared about her work and gave it her best. I have yet to read or see anyone say a bad thing about her. Fred Astaire stated that "Rita had a saintly quality about her..." This documentary projects a loving approach toward telling Rita Hayworth's story. By all accounts she was a shy and unpretentious woman who was gentle and kind, supremely beautiful and a gifted artist. The accompanying DVD "Trouble in Texas" is dated, but a lot of fun. Rita Hayworth just "jumps" out at you in a couple of scenes and the audiences of the time must have thought, "Wow, who is this?" Overall, a touching and sensitive rendering of Rita Hayworth's story

It took far too long to receive this order. I inquired if this order had shipped and sender told me yes. When I received it, the order was actually shipped two days after the email was received. Total of 14 days to receive. Not anxious to place another order with sender. Item was in good condition once received though.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 11, 2006

Rita Hayworth was one of the most glamorous movie starlets of the golden age of Hollywood. This documentary explores her life career, and sad battle with Alzheimer's. Kim Basinger and clips of Hayworth's own voice narrate the documentary which is divided into sections: Becoming Rita, Hollywood Princess, Leaving the Goddess, and A Life Forgotten. It opens with a clip of The Shawshank Redemption where two men discuss how beautiful and seductive Hayworth was in Gilda, her most famous film. It proceeds to explain her life, her beginning as a dancer and transition to a star, her multiple marriages and children, her shyness, and later her deconstruction. There are interviews with family like her daughter Princess Yasmin Aga Khan and cousin Theresa Cansino to friends like Bob Schiffer and Ann Miller to co-workers like Eli Wallach and Tab Hunter to famous fans like Nicole Kidman. There are clips from countless films like Only Angels Have Wings, You'll Never Get Rich, Cover Girl, The Lady From Shanghai, Fire Down Below, Separate Tables, and The Story on Page One. This documentary is less concerned with stories and the personality of Hayworth; it is very factual. However, one does begin to empathize with Hayworth's troubles.

The western film Trouble in Texas starring Rita and Tex Ritter is included on a second disk. It is one of Hayworth's lesser films which is easily available in low-quality forms. This version has a better picture, but it is a strange choice to be paired with a documentary. Perhaps Gilda would have been a better choice.

A fine but pricey DVD for the Rita-Hayworth fan

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 13, 2006

The noir film Gilda (1946) immortalized Rita Hayworth (1918-87), born Rita Cansino, a fabulous dancer and a very good actress who died tragically of Alzheimer's Disease at the age of 69. Narrated by Kim Basinger, and using much archival footage, this excellent TV documentary was first broadcast in the U.S. on 9 Sep. 2003 and is only 58 minutes, not 81 as stated by Amazon. The extras are decent, although the interview footage is mostly repetitious of what actually appears in the documentary. Playboy Home Video issued the DVD--the 4-page insert shows Rita's famous pin-up as a gatefold.

The bonus disk is Trouble in Texas (1937) starring singing cowboy Tex Ritter and Rita Hayworth in her 15th film. The western is only 63 minutes, not 86 stated on the case. The quality of the film on the DVD is only fair, with many dropouts and scratches, blown-out highlights, low contrast, and poor sound (volume has to be turned up considerably). The movie itself is reviewed elsewhere on Amazon's site (another DVD issue as well as on video). The film is only so-so, but is highlighted by Rita's dancing as well as a concluding speeding wagon with impressive stunt work by Yakima Canutt. Perhaps as a kid in the fifties you saw on TV his famous falling-between-the-horses stunt.

This DVD is somewhat pricey and comes in an oversize case but is essential for fans of Rita Hayworth.
