Remake of the 1947 film "Down to Earth," starring Rita Hayworth, about a muse who inspires a playwright to write a musical. "Down to Earth" is itself a sequel to "Here Comes Mr. Jordan."
Last dramatic role for dancer/actor/choreographer/director Gene Kelly. DRAMATIC Role????!!!

Mon, December 8, 2003 - 3:36 PMI guess that is true, I personally think the scene when Sonny Malone skates down the street and looks at her billboard was heart wrenching...especially the close ups, nostrils flaring, etc. Damn I loved those red shorts too.....But Danny (Gene) seemed so happy in that film... -

Mon, December 8, 2003 - 3:43 PMYou have to boil it down to the subtext - Gene Kelly's character was a coil just waiting to spring. You could tell when he was sitting on that rock playing clarinet at the beginning - it was like the end of Apocalypse Now, if you think about it. -
