Review of Down to Earth

I rate this movie a "7" only because Rita Hayworth is gorgeous in every scene; period. Every song in this musical is instantly forgettable, but Rita shines in every number. Her co-star is Larry Parks from "The Jolson Story" movie. A musical sequel to "Here Comes Mr. Jordan" shot in Technicolor! James Gleason and Edward Everett Horton reprise their roles but "Mr.Jordan" is played by someone else in a great silver wig! In most musicals, the storyline is dumb and the songs are great; reverse that here. Kind of a curio, as this exact-same "Muse comes down to Earth" premise was used in "Xanadu". (Olivia-Newton-John plays the same Muse with her name changed so people can pronounce it.) Cute movie. Bad musical.
