Even in black and white....


Rita's red hair steals the show! Right, pals?


I was born when she kissed me. I died when she left me. I lived a few weeks while she loved me.

Right the film was B&W so the red hair didn't matter.
Other cases:
Lucille Ball died her hair RED for "I Love Lucy" a B&W show

In Jezebel (1938) Julie (Bette Davis) wears a RED dress to a BALL
another B&W film (Much as we did see it in the colorized verison)

Orson Welles made her dye it blond for The Lady From Shanghai.

For those wondering, her natural hair colour was purple.
