DVD: Down to Earth   Classic Film > 1947   DVDs   Down to Earth    Discs    DVD Release Date       Down to Earth   1   May 11, 2004   check prices     Rita Hayworth really was a screen goddess in the late 1940s--so why not cast her as Terpsichore, the goddess of dance? That's the premise of this splashy Technicolor musical, which borrows some devices (and cast members) from Here Comes Mr. Jordan. Rita descends to earth to inject authenticity into a Broadway show about Terpsichore, posing as an actress and turning the head of impresario Larry Parks (then in the brief moment between his Jolson Story smash and his blacklisting). This leads to an overblown, pretentious out-of-town tryout, an amusing sequence that predicts the highbrow disaster in The Band Wagon. In general, this film is funnier than its reputation, although it doesn't add up to anything and the song score is tepid (with one delightfully weird number where Rita considers bigamy with Parks and dancer Marc Platt). And Rita? Very creamy looking in a series of lavish gowns--and hardly down to earth. --Robert Horton   More...       See also: Classic Film on DVD - 1930-1969 1930   1931   1932   1933   1934   1935   1936   1937   1938   1939 1940   1941   1942   1943   1944   1945   1946   1947   1948   1949 1950   1951   1952   1953   1954   1955   1956   1957   1958   1959 1960   1961   1962   1963   1964   1965   1966   1967   1968   1969   Top Films on DVD - Oscar® Winners and Nominees A   B   C   D   E   F   G   H   I   J   K   L   M   N   O   P   Q   R   S   T   U   V   W   X   Y   Z   NowChannel TV Shows on DVD Classic TV   Entire Series on DVD Classic Film   Oscar® Winners More Genres of DVD   Oscar® is a registered trademark of Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
