Esther Williams is a swimmer/water skier in this fun-filled Technicolor romp of hers. Van Johnson is her boss who puts on the aquatic shows. She complains about being overworked and under-appreciated, but all the while she has secretly loved Van. Apparently, Van has too (her), because his jealousy starts to show when rival Tony Martin shows up with his smooth voice. But she is currently going with John Bromfield, a swimming partner in the shows. (I had never heard of John Bromfield before this film.) This is one of the better movie vehicles for Ms. Esther. This is funny and entertaining and has some great water spectacles for the viewer. This is, as you would guess, undemanding and uncomplicated fluff, but still manages to differentiate itself from her other films by way of its premise and how the story unfolds. It may be missing a sidekick for comic relief, like Jimmy Durante or Red Skelton, but is a good time for all. I hope you will find this and find it "easy to love."
