"Cover Girl" (1944), staring Rita Hayworth and Gene Kelly won the 1945 Oscar for Best Music, Scoring of a Motion Picture.
Here is Ms. Hayworth, performing "Poor John" as Maribelle Hicks in a flashback sequence. Maribelle is angry because her fiance's mother humiliated her in a recent visit, and so she performs this number to John's disgrace.
The song was written and composed by Fred Leigh and Henry E. Pether. Martha Mears dubbed the singing voice for Rita. The costume is what is known as a "Pearly Queen" costume, a late 19th century cockney costume, hence the crude posture and odd accent.
Enjoy!

I love this performance. At age 88, I can remember most of the words because my grandmother, Adelle Daggett of Georgetown, South Carolina, sang it often by our request, to entertain my cousins and me. She was a piano teacher before she married my grandfather and had 7 children.

Performed by Vesta Victoria - English (British) music hall star (1873-1951) born in Leeds, Yorkshire. She made "Poor John" famous. Not sure whether she adopted a "Cockney" (or Mockney) accent to deliver the song. She was so famous that many songs were especially written for her, such as, "Daddy Wouldn't Buy Me a Bow Wow" and "Waiting At The Church". She spent a great deal of her vast fortune (made from her work) on young men....the rest she squandered.

In this scene she's playing her grandmother who was a dance hall performer. It takes place in the early 1900's, the original song was done by an English woman so the character is using a fake accent that her audience would think of as English.

Possibly my favourite Rita Hayworth movie. I especially love this number and it really showcases her acting ability, normally the dazzlingly beautiful femme fatale or love interest (Gilda, You Were Never Lovelier), in this performance within a performance she almost becomes the clown, it reminds me a lot of Giulietta Masina’s ‘Gelsemina’ in Fellini’s La Strada. Really wish there were more movies with Rita and Gene Kelly, although the Fred Astaire ones are fantastic, you never really buy them as a couple whereas Rita and Gene; you’d really struggle to name a more handsome and charismatic pair…

Ironically, it was the great box office of ''Cover Girl'' which set up Rita and Gene never doing another film together. Hayworth, of course, was contract to Columbia Pictures while Kelly worked for Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. MGM had ''lent'' Kelly to Columbia for ''Cover Girl,'' partially for something for him to do, but also because Metro had yet to realize how to use Kelly's unique talents. When Kelly arrived at Columbia, he basically supervised the film's dazzling musical numbers. While all this was going on, Columbia boss Harry Cohn out-bid MGM's Louis B. Mayer for the film rights to Kelly's great Broadway show, ''Pal Joey.'' Cohn wanted to borrow Kelly again to re-team him with Rita, but Mayer, who was embarrassed to be out-bid for ''Joe'' but also embarrassed that Columbia had realized Kelly's talents,nixed the idea. He never lent Kelly again.

+steve akers Back then Rita and Lucille used to have the same manager, and he was obsessed with a certain physical type for his actresses. The man managed to turn Rita and Lucille into twin sisters!!! Ironically, my two favorite divas hated each other. Legend has it that Lucille was jealous of Rita's success. I don't know, and it doesn't really matter to me, because I love the two of them.

The old Hollywood system probably wouldn't have used the real actresses' voices even if they _could_ sing. There are eine result Rita Moreno movies where she was dubbed by someone else--and she went on to win a Grammy.
