You Were Never Lovelier a 1942 Columbia Pictures musical comedy film,.

The film is set in Buenos Aires. It starred Fred Astaire, Rita Hayworth and Xavier Cugat Band.

Music by Jerome Kern, lyrics by Johnny Mercer and directed by William A. Seiter.

The second of Astaire’s outings with Hayworth, You’ll Never Get Rich was the first.
