Featured review
Pure Esther Williams junk
You have to be a die hard fan of hers to appreciate this stupid film, with her usual Howard Keel partner, a pure non sense where the most interesting parts are the swimming skills of Williams. Vaudeville gags lousy, dialogues run on the mill, no, really, choose MILLION DOLLAR MERMAID instead, don't lose you time on this one.
