Athena (Preview Clip)

Jane Powell and Debbie Reynolds head the cast of this underrated MGM musical gem, a true original whose book and score were written specifically for this film, and not adapted from a literary or stage source. A staid society lawyer (Edmund Purdom) and his singing sensation pal (Vic Damone) get corralled by a pair of sibling scions (Powell & Reynolds) from an extended family of fitness fanatics. Found amidst the crew of bodybuilders and gymnasts that make up the clan is a young Steve Reeves, who would soon star in a Herculean string of sword and sandal epics. Overlooked since its original release, the film boasts a gorgeous original score of songs written by Hugh Martin and Ralph Blane (MEET ME IN ST. LOUIS). Their dazzling score shines as never before in the Warner Archive Collection's new DVD presentation, boasting its first-ever presentation with STEREO AUDIO. SPECIAL FEATURES: 3 Never-Before-Seen Outtake Musical Numbers including "Imagine (Second Reprise)" with Vic Damone and Debbie Reynolds and "Love Can Change the Stars (Duet Reprise)" with Jane Powell and Edmund Purdom, and the COMPETITION dance sequence with Powell, Reynolds and their 'sisters'; Original Theatrical Trailer 16x9 WIDESCREEN, FULL STEREO REMIX.
