PLOT SYNOPSIS
"Esther plays a farm girl who travels with her family to England to take part in a swimming competition across the English Channel. There she finds more than she bargained for - a romance with a dashing Frenchman (Fernando Lamas) and the opportunity to perform a water ballet with cartoon legends Tomy & Jerry. . .Taking part in the splashy fun are Jack Carson as Esther's coach, Denise Darcel as an amorous competitor in the swimming contest, and Charlotte Greenwood and William Demarest as Esther's supportive parents."

- Clive Hirschhorn, The Hollywood Musical
"A light mixture of tunes, comedy, water ballet and Esther Williams in a bathing suit. . ."
- Variety
