Farrell keeps track of her dating men at all hours of the night. After a number of twists and turns the secrets of the three are eventually revealed. The most memorable scene may be Hayworth singing Put the Blame on Mame while doing what critics at the time called a "fully clothed striptease." Movie info Rita Hayworth was pregnant during shooting. Because of that, Hayworth's wardrobe had to be designed to help hide her condition. Hayworth is frequently seen only from the waist up, behind other cast members or props. Hayworth, married to Orson Welles at the time, gave birth to daughter Rebecca Welles just one week after production ended. Ben Hecht worked on the film as an uncredited script writer Quote I can never get a zipper to close. Maybe that stands for something, what do you think? - Gilda (Rita Hayworth)
