 What a disappointment!Feb 28, 2007
By Desgranges
This is a cheap made in asia transfer to DVD, certainly not worth the price. Advertised subtittles are not included.
I wonder if MGM is aware of that release and if their copyrights were properly protected.
I would suggest that Amazon take this item off their catalog.
Conclusion: don't get fooled, don't buy!

 A well deserved homage to Anette Kellerman!Oct 08, 2005
By Hiram Gomez Pardo
Esther Williams was lovable and irresistible in this film but if you add the presence of Busby Berkeley, the talented Mervin Le Roy, a very human and extremely imaginative Mature and the presence of that giant actor as Walter Pigdeon was, you will obtain a very worthy movie without major pretensions.
The sublime sequences of the aquatic ballet and choreographic numbers are superb and belong to the cinema mythology.

 An Esther Williams Classic.Mar 17, 2007
By Marina, the Fire Eating Mermaid!
"MeduSirena"
It's great to be able to finally own a DVD of this picture. As it had been a while since I had watched it, I forgot that it really did not have many underwater shots (except for the tank scene) - most consisted of dives and water ballet taken from the surface.The big water-show scene the film is famous for is indeed magnificent! Way over the top- it makes an impression every time.

"turtleap"
Esther Williams is such a delight. I love her films. While visiting my uncle a few years back, he shared several of them with me. If you enjoy music, humor, love, and life in general- check it out. The show tunes are fabulous and the color version is really neat.
You will be pleasantly surprised by this classic film. It is one of my favorite amazon purchases. No matter what age you are- It is a must see movie event. Watch all of her films - they are wonderful.

ExcellentApr 10, 2009

"classic buff"
With the exception of "Chicago", "Dreamgirls" and "Slumdog", there is a reason why musicals are not popular and pale today to those of "yester year". They were made predominantly as lite but grand entertainment for "war time diversion". Well the time is again now...but the quality/talent just ain't there anymore for a re-surgance.
