Summary: A Great Cast
Comment: I like Esther Williams movies especially when she is paired with someone handsome, so this was a good combination with Peter Lawford and Ricardo Montalban both; I wish she would have done more films with one of them. I like the Latin dance numbers with Ricardo Montalban and Cyd Charisse, and the storyline is romantic, though the ending is a little abrupt (which isn't surprising with MGM musicals!).
Great on a windy night with popcorn and hot chocolate!

Summary: Great fun
Comment: I am now an Esther Williams fan, thanks to this film. I found her to be quite a funny actress. HEE-HEE!!! I was slightly annoyed to find that Jimmy Durante was in this, though, (i can't stand him), but I managed to get along.

There were several dance scenes that I thought were uncalled for and much too long. Boredom. And I was watching this on TV, so I couldn't skip them!!

Undoubtedly, my favorite character was the beyond-adorable Penelope Peabody, a very minor person. She was played Kathryn Beaumont, best known for voicing Alice in Disney's Alice in Wonderland and Wendy in Disney's Peter Pan. She was about six or seven years old, and her little British accent was too cute!

I suppose that I recommend this film to all...yes, i do!

Summary: Technicolor Fruit Salad
Comment: Take Jimmy Durante, Esther Williams, Kahn, Xavier Cugat and
JFK's good buddie Peter Lawford mix them together with great costumes,
wonderful dance numbers, all over skin bronzer and orange lipstick and you have a great-if somewhat mixed up-little epic.

Summary: Classic routines from Jimmy Durante
Comment: For Esther Williams fans, there's not much water ballet in this movie, but Jimmy Durante steals the show. His signature songs, "You got to start off each day with a song" and "I know darn well I can do without Broadway, but can Broadway do without me" is a must for any Durante fan.
