A musical followup to "Here Comes Mr. Jordan", in which the goddess Terpsichore drops down on Broadway, where a young actor-playwright is struggling to put on a show about the goddess Terpsichore. The songs are the opposite of memorable, and the leads are dubbed, anyway, but the dance numbers aren't bad, and the color design is eye-catching, with the accent on reds and browns, all apparently keyed to the color of Rita Hayworth's hair.
