Another picture that belongs my teenager years, I'd to confess that don't cheer up at its time just the gorgeous Rita Hayworth, the classy Roland Culver, the funny James Gleason and the downbeat Edward Everett Thornton make it worthwhile.
When a Broadway producer Danny Miller (Larry Parks) devises a weirdo musical over Greek Mythology more specifically over the Goddess Terpsichore, it reaches at Olympus where the own Goddess of dance (Rita Hayworth) stayed annoyed about such rubbish play, at once she asking for to Mr. Jordan a especial permission to down to Earth aiming for fix the matter, the reluctant man in charge to bring the dead people to the heaven accepts whilst she is fully monitored by the complainer Messenger 7013 (Edward Everett Horton), arriving at New York the Goddess Terpsichore got the main role on the Musical playing herself.
Before they asking about your agent to make a contract, the first man that appears at there is the loser agent Max Corkle (James Gleason), Thus Terpsichore appoints him as her agent, as planed previously at Olympus, she explains to the stubborn Miller that such odd play is doomed to failure, letting Miller angry over such wicked comment, indeed the show mixing sausages, coca cola, and worst a polygamic romance as well, all this mess will spoils the play and will be beaten up by the critics, upon a refusal of Miller the sorrowful Terpsichore is about to quit when enters the wise Mr. Jordan exposing that Miller's life is at stake.
Aside all sexy girls involved in the musical numbers are mid-level, far below of Hollywood's standard at its time, the movie is saved by brilliance of Rita Hayworth and those fine actors named above, all the remainder is a waste of time and the outcome doesn't measure up of the real Earth Goddess Rita Hayworth whatsoever, just to make a note it had a remake in 1980's Xanadu, also a failure as a movie except by a stunning soundtrack.
Thanks for reading.
