Rita and Douglas Fairbanks Jr, photographed for Angels Over Broadway (1940)

with Douglas Fairbanks, Jr. for Angels Over Broadway (1940).

Douglas Fairbanks, Jr and Rita worked together for one movie, Angels Over Broadway (1940). It wasn’t a big commercial success, but the critics loved it, and Rita was singled out in many reviews.

Douglas Fairbanks Jr said about filming with her: “Rita was so new and so shy..that even I hesitated to use any expletive more earthy than ‘darn’ or ‘gosh’, in her presence.”

Douglas Fairbanks Jr. and Rita Hayworth - publicity portrait from the 1940 film “Angels over Broadway”
In the Ben Hecht-scripted Angels over Broadway. Douglas Fairbanks Jr. plays a poker hustler working in cahoots with good-time girl Rita Hayworth. Alcoholic playwright Thomas Mitchell, having saved embezzler John Qualen from suicide, decides to enter Fairbanks’ high-stakes game, using Qualen as an easy-mark “bait.” Mitchell’s clever schemes to beat Fairbanks come acropper, but Fairbanks has a sudden change of heart and decides it’s more fun to perform good deeds.

a very good movie and Rita is adorable in it.
