SHE IS NOT GOING TO MARRY THAT 'YOUNG MAN'!
These old Hollywood movies are great but certain times give me a slight 'eeeeew' factor. Regarding lovely Rita Hayworth's character her father (played by Adolphe Menjou and is 52 years old)swears, "She is not going to marry that YOUNG MAN!!" regarding Fred Astaire. I checked on IMDB and Astaire was already 43 years old at the time of this movie. 'Young Man'? Good Lord, he's only 9 years younger than her Dad. Hayworth is stunningly beautiful and only 24 & I find it slightly strange she likes this middle aged geezer? I guess it's because he dances so darn good & she can make him Oatmeal? Reminds me of the movie 'The Misfits' (which is a good movie also) Clark Gable who is 60 years old wins Marilyn Monroe (who is 34) Wow, a difference of 26 years.. eeeeewww he could be her Dad or better yet her GrandFather maybe. allright, I know, I know, it's old Hollywood but there must be others that have contemplated this. I did a little math and this age difference would be exactly the same as Val Kilmer marrying Rue McClanahan....?? I just spit something up, gotta go LOL
