    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      After Frank Loesser's "Baby, It's Cold Outside" was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Original Song, other songwriters protested because Loesser originally had written it in 1944 as a duet for himself and his wife to sing at parties, and they argued that it, therefore, should not be counted as an "original" song. The Academy, though, ruled that since the song never had been performed professionally before it appeared in the film, it was eligible, and it went on to win the award.
    • Goofs
      Throughout the movie Mel Blanc's character is referred to as Julio, but in the cast credits at the end of the film his name is Pancho. Pancho, in fact, is another character, a stablehand who has only a line or two.

    "Any woman that's over size 20 should have her bathing suit made-to-order."
    Swimsuit designer (Esther Williams) has her hands full protecting her man-hungry sister (Betty Garrett). A case of mistaken identity has Esther thinking Betty's in love with Ricardo Montalban when it's really Red Skelton she's fallen for. Esther may spend most of the film out of the water but she's gorgeous as ever. Skelton and Garrett are lots of fun. Montalban is his flirty and charming best. There's also a live-action role for cartoon voice legend Mel Blanc, using his Speedy Gonzalez accent.

    Fluffy fun with likable performances from everyone and beautiful Technicolor. Oscar-winning "Baby It's Cold Outside" song is justifiably a classic. Aquatic finale is excellent. We also are treated to a brief tour of a swimsuit factory, which I'm not ashamed to admit I found pretty interesting.
