What classic movie musical is this?

[OmahaStar]

I saw a snippet of this a few years ago on TCM, I think. It was a "classic" movie - meaning, somewhere between the 1940s to 1960s. It was a musical. It was set in the South - possibly Georgia? (Southern USA, that is) It was about Greek Goddesses - or perhaps the daughters of one of the Greek Gods? And they all lived in a mansion. One of them was about to get married to a mortal.

And that's everything I can remember. Does this sound familiar to anyone? Maybe Vash?

I sincerely hope it isn't Xanadu.... because it sounds a little like it.

No, I know it's not that. Xanadu is from around 1980. This was probably 40 years older.

Maybe "Down to Earth" with Rita Hayworth?

That was the only one that I could come up with on google, but that one is about a night club and mobsters and stuff. It doesn't seem to match what little I remember. Thanks, though!

The only thing else I can remember is that the lead girls were all sisters, ... ok, not girls, they were all adults ... the mansion/plantation/whatever house it was had large pillars holding up the room along the outside, there was a large dancing room, and I think the doors had "French pane" style windows on them.

I am absolutely stumped! I tried a bunch of keywords at imdb.com, came up with nada.

Zion may be at least partially right about "Xanadu".

I'm also guessing the movie you saw was "Down to Earth" (1947) w/ Rita Hayworth, imdb as one of the Greek Muses It's a musical sequel to "Here Comes Mr Jordan" (1941). And, strangely enough, "Xanadu" (1980) is a partial retelling and continuation (pseudo-sequel?) of "Down to Earth"

Could it be Athena starring Jane Powell, Debbie Reynolds and Vic Damone? (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0046728/)

It's probably been, I don't know, at least 30 years since I've seen it, but I remember there are a bunch of sisters and they're all named after goddesses or constellations or something, and they all live together in a mansion...

If so, I don't know how "classic" it is, unless the only criteria is age.
