This splashy musical stars Esther Williams and her future husband Fernando Lamas.
A LITTLE ABOVE AVERAGE MUSICAL WITH AN UNUSUAL PLOT FOR A MUSICAL - A CONTEST FOR THE FIRST WOMAN TO SWIM THE ENGLISH CHANNEL. BUT, THERE IS A VERY MEMORABLE SCENE WHERE ESTER WILLIAMS SWIMS WITH CARTOON CHARACTERS TOM AND JERRY. NONE OF THE SONGS ARE PARTICULARLY MEMORABLE.
