The peculiarity here is that this time, Esther Williams really swims, and not only in a simple ballet, aquatic ballet, which had nothing to do with the topic itself, a silly romance already seen thousand times before with the likes of Van Johnson or Jack Carson, the ideal son or brother in law for such films. The story is tense, more interesting than usual, but the important thing is that she met Fernando Lamas on this shooting, her future husband who later, in real life, did not even accept her own kids, whom she had from previous husbands. All alcohilics who took advantage of her, who was the bread provider, poor gorgeous, courageous woman and generous. So this film is among her best, among the batch of silly other films which she was involved in. I don't speak of MILLION DOLLAR MERMAID or NEPTUNE'S DAUGHTER.
