The lack of plot is part of what is fun.
Released during the middle of WWII, it is a rather obvious excuse to show beautiful women in bathing suits and have lots of really good musical numbers.
There are several wonderful location shots, even though most of it was filmed on a sound stage. One of the locations look likes it was filmed in Palm Springs.
Red Skelton is adorable if a bit typecast. Ester Williams is stunningly beautiful and graceful.
All in all a thoroughly enjoyable, if silly, movie. A great movie for family viewing especially with younger children.
