...Never Get Rich Astaire has the right girl: Rita Hayworth. Those who saw russet-tressed, incandescent Rita Hayworth dance before the movies drafted her knew she was a dancer to partner even the great Astaire. But few of them would have expected her to keep up with his wry, offbeat brand of comedy. She fills both assignments in You'll Never Get Rich...
...show itself is no extravaganza with bevies of beauties pouring out of cornucopias. It is an intimate musical comedy strung on an adequately comic story of U.S. Army rookies, and glittering at intervals with the shining beads of Astaire's exhilarating, airy acrobatics accompanied by Rita Hayworth's lambent looks and legs...
...favorite dancing master (Mr. Astaire) is caught in the draft and, unable to control his feet or his temper, becomes a permanent resident of the camp guardhouse. His favorite chorine (Miss Hayworth) turns up at camp in the wake of an Army officer (John Hubbard). She eventually solves everything by marrying the jailbird. Comic honors go to swivel-tongued Cliff Nazarro, double-talker extraordinary, who spreads utter confusion whenever he opens his mouth. The picture is well done and well directed...
Whether or not the team of Hayworth and Astaire will click as smoothly and as often as did Rogers and Astaire remains to be seen; it starts off with plenty of promise.

When it comes to acting, Miss Hayworth is probably a little less boisterous than Ginger was in her heyday...
After one of the biggest build-ups in recent Hollywood history, Rita Hayworth makes her costarring debut in R. K. O.'s "You'll Never Get Rich," now showing at Loew's State and Orpheum. She is called upon to fill the shoes--or rather, dancing slippers--of Ginger Rogers, and to twirl the light fantastic with filmdom's ablest dancer, Fred Astaire. It's to her credit that she does a snappy job, although she is continually outshone in their dancing scenes by her flashier partner. This is a fate which was shared by La Rogers as well...
