Product Description

Amazon.ca

A wimpy remake of an already anemic movie (the 1947 Rita Hayworth vehicle Down to Earth), this glitzy musical from 1980 improbably stars Olivia Newton-John as a heavenly muse sent here to help open a roller-derby disco. Gene Kelly is mixed up in this well-meaning but goofy effort to fuse nostalgia with late-'70s glitter-ball trendiness, and he looks just plain silly. Directed by Robert Greenwald, the film doesn't even work as decent kitsch. --Tom Keogh

5.0 out of 5 stars A musical-fantasy like no other Mar 30 2008
By Frances L. Arsenault TOP 500 REVIEWER
Format:VHS Tape|Amazon Verified Purchase
I have watched the trailer plus a clip for this film on the net and I had gotten curious. So I'd ordered the film and after I had watched the WHOLE film I love it! a musical-fantasy like no other. But I am shocked by the negativity towards it.

The film is about a frustrated artist named Sonny who dreams of fame beyond his dead-end job. He hates painting large, display-versions of record albums. Then he meets and falls in love with a mysterious girl named Kira, who was really Terpsichore: The muse of dance, a daughter of Zeus & Mnemosyne - The goddess of memory...I studied World Mythology. I love a really good musical, they've great songs in them. My favorite musical scenes are "Dancin'" a wonderful blend of the 40s and 80s. And "Don't Walk Away" an animated sequence by none other than Don Bluth.I had listened to that song (Don't Walk Away) I cried...Really! I cried! I haven't cried since like...months ago or so. Overall it's an awesome musical to enjoy.
