Down to Earth (1947)

Rita Hayworth dazzles as the Greek goddess Terpsichore, muse of song and dance. When she discovers a Broadway show will portray her as a man-hungry jazz mama, she schemes to get down to Earth to set the producer straight. Somehow Terpsichore has seen director Alexander Hall’s other film Here Comes Mr Jordan and decides to borrow its premise and characters — she’s a goddess after all — making this sort of a sequel, or possibly a spin-off. Edward Everett Horton reprises his role as Messenger 7013, the officious clerk who warns the scheme will come to no good, while Roland Culver plays the benevolent Mr Jordan (replacing Claude Reins) who realizes the young producer’s fate is entwined with the meddling muse.
