| | Worth seeing for the muscle | Candy Kane 01/28/2007 | | Athena had a dumb story and some stupid songs, but it features Steve Reeves and Dick Dubois, two of the best built and handsomest bodybuilders of the day. The parts where Steve Reeves is flipped by Edmund Purdom is pure science fiction. |

| User Review |
| | As Good as it Gets | 1fatts 07/22/2007 | The script is funny. The music is great. The Gene Kelly/Donald O'Connor dancing duets are magic. Debbie Reynolds looks younger than Princess Leia ever did. Jean Hagen steals every scene she is in -- Steals it? She picks it up, tucks it under her arm and carries it away.
Best Line: "I make more money than Calvin Coolidge . . . put together!"
Favorite Trivia: At the end of the film, Debbie Reynolds is supposedly dubbing a song which the Jean Hagen character is mouthing because she cannot sing. In reality, in this one song in the film, Debbie Reynolds is being dubbed by . . . Jean Hagen!
This one is on everyone's list of top ten musicals ever made. But if you know anything about movies, you already know that. |
