Rita Hayworth Glenn Ford George Macready Joseph Calleia dir: Charles Vidor; Columbia. <br /><br />One of the quintessential film noir titles with star Rita Hayworth becoming film history's iconic <i>femme fatale</i>. <br /><br />This image is from a sitting which is amongst the most famous publicity photo shoots of all time utilized fully and in part for scores of publicity campaigns for the film and the star. Hayworth is featured in what is likely her most famous costume a gown designed by Jean Louis. In the film she performs the musical number "Put the Blame on Mame" while wearing this gown. To this day Hayworth's performance is most appealing not only because of her sex appeal but because of her pathos and vulnerability. <br /><br />This still has the original use ink stamp on the verso for Acme Newspaper Inc. Remnant of original paper blurb on verso. Minor interior crease above Hayworth's head to right. Light creases at bottom right corner NEAR FINE Columbia books
