Following his immortal collaborations with Ginger Rogers and Eleanor Powell, Fred Astaire was paired with an up-and-coming Rita Hayworth for You’ll Never Get Rich, a brilliant musical comedy with songs by Cole Porter.

When womanising impresario Martin (Robert Benchley, Foreign Correspondent) tasks choreographer Robert (Astaire, Top Hat) with helping him woo headstrong dancer Sheila (Hayworth, The Lady from Shanghai), a series of comic misunderstandings – involving Martin’s wife (Frieda Inescort, Pride and Prejudice) and Sheila’s fiancé (John Hubbard, Bullfighter and the Lady) – results in Robert running away to join the Army... for his own safety!

Directed by Sidney Lanfield (The Hound of the Baskervilles), You’ll Never Get Rich was credited with reviving Astaire's career and elevating Hayworth to stardom.
