You Were Never Lovelier

“Hayworth's glowing beauty! Astaire's glorious rhythm! Kern's greatest score since "Show Boat"!”

Robert Davis (Fred Astaire) is a penniless American dancer in Buenos Aires who wants a job at a nightclub, and he needs the club owner Eduardo Acuña (Adolphe Menjou) to give him one. Acuña's daughter Maria (Rita Hayworth) has never noticed Robert, though she soon believes he is the secret admirer sending her flowers. William A. Seiter's film puts Jerome Kern's songs in the middle of it, and Robert's job and his place in her house depend on keeping her wrong.
