What happens
You'll Never Get Rich is a 1941 American musical comedy film directed by Sidney Lanfield and starring Fred Astaire and Rita Hayworth, with music and lyrics by Cole Porter. The title references the U.S. Army song lyric: "You'll never get rich / By digging a ditch / You're in the Army now!" The film marked Hayworth's first starring role in a major production from Columbia Pictures and played a significant role in launching her to stardom. During production, Life magazine featured Hayworth on its cover, with a promotional photograph that became one of the most widely circulated pin-ups of the era. Hayworth received praise for her work with Astaire, who later credited the film with revitalizing his career following his split with Ginger Rogers. The film was a commercial success and received two Academy Award nominations for Best Original Song for "Since I Kissed My Baby Goodbye" by Cole Porter and Best Music, Scoring of a Musical Picture by Morris Stoloff.
