Movie Info

Health faddist Mulvain (Louis Calhern) and his astrology-minded wife Salome (Norma Varden) hold court over their seven musical-prodigy daughters. Each girl is named after a mythical Greek: Athena (Jane Powell), Minerva (Debbie Reynolds), Niobe (Virginia Gibson), Aphrodite (Nancy Kligas), Medea (Jane Fischer), Calliope (Dolores Starr) and Ceres (Cecile Rogers). They also run around dressed in skimpy miniskirts, for those of you not interested in mythology. Athena falls in love with lawyer Adam

**1/2 (out of four) Light and fun, but shallow musical with Edmund Purdom and Vic Damone romancing two sisters whose grandfather owns a health spa. There are a lot of bouncing fit babes and pumped up musclemen (including Steve Reeves) parading about, but the musical numbers and plot are mostly silly.
