I never thought I would ever say I didn't like a Gene Kelly movie. Cover Girl to me was one giant bore. The choreography was mediocre (with the exception where Kelly dances with himself)and the songs weren't memorable. Watch Singin' In The Rain and tell me you didn't hum it after the movie was over. You can't!
As far as the relationship between Rita Hayworth (while beautiful I don't understand the hoopla surrounding her. She's a passable dancer and a lousy actress) and Gene Kelly, there is absolutely no chemistry.
The only gem in this flick was Kelly's scene where he danced alongside himself. Is it any wonder MGM never loaned him out again? His dancing was magical, athletic and just a joy to watch. If you want to see Kelly at his best, watch Singin' In The Rain or his masterpiece An American In Paris.
