For Lovely Rita

”[…] Rita Hayworth is different. She made you believe in both her beauty and her ability whenever she was on screen. I did a test of her and instead of attempting to convey wanton lust with just her eyes or even her entire face, she used her entire body to do it - and do it with an animal grace that no actress I have ever known has come close to equaling.”

- Rouben Mamoulian (director of Blood and Sand)
