PLOT SYNOPSIS
"Williams is in love with her boss, Van Johnson, for whom she doubles as secretary and star of his aqua-show, but her love is unrequited until she allows herself to be courted by swimming instructor John Bromfield and singer Tony Martin. Johnson becomes jealous and realizes he has been in love with her all along."

NOTES
". . .the spectacular finale created by Busby Berkeley. . .turned out to be one of his most exhilarating sequences ever, and also the last great spectacle he was to create for the screen. . ."
- Clive Hirschhorn, The Hollywood Musical
"Thin, humorless and forgettable musical vehicle sustained by spectacular water ballets."
