Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Hayworth's glove-stripping 'Put the Blame on Mame' number made her the WWII pin-up, with her image glued to the atomic bomb tested at Bikini Atoll.
The famous hair-flip scene required six takes because Hayworth kept laughing at her own reflection; Vidor used the final, smoldering take.
