Into this Eden come two plane crash survivors, supermodel Laura and her playboy friend Wally. The shapely, worldly Laura becomes a bad influence, especially when triangles start to develop.

Did You Know?
| Trivia | Despite their noticeable lack of chemistry in this lackluster film, Esther Williams and Jeff Chandler embarked on a passionate affair during the making of it. In a controversial move, Williams outed Chandler as a cross-dresser in her autobiography, "Million Dollar Mermaid," citing his penchant for wearing women's clothes as the reason she ended their relationship.

| Goofs | Lovely Esther Williams rarely lets her hair down and only cracks a smile near the very end of the film. Otherwise she appears to insist on being melancholy throughout. See more » |
