When two of the many mulvain sisters find love, naturally, the family doesn't approve. Jane powell and debbie reynolds are athena and minerva (not too much pressure, with those names!), and they fall for adam and johnny (ed purdom, vic damone). Kind of a strange story line... the family runs a gym and health food store, and that's all they care about. They try to make a health nut out of adam, but he's not having it. At first. He's already engaged to someone else. Lots of singing. Keep an eye out for ray collins... he was always the advisor or the attorney in films. The story goes all over the place. With odd little sub plots, which don't go anywhere. Johnny is being sued by his agent. Adam is running for some office. And the mister universe contest is going on. With all the musical numbers and bizarre, sugary, love story, i would probably have bailed out halfway through... but i didn't. Just out of curiousity. Early roles for reynolds and damone. It's odd, but entertaining. Directed by richard thorpe. Worked with debbie reynolds on three films. And made two with elvis!
