Esther Williams and Fernando Lamas star DANGEROUS WHEN WET, a delightful musical about an American girl and her dream to swim the English Channel.

Katie Higgins (Esther Williams), and the rest of the health-savvy Higgins clan (William Demarest, Charlotte Greenwood, Donna Corcoran and Barbara Whiting), are all invited by the publicity frontman of Liquapep (Jack Carson), to come to England and swim the English Channel.

Along the way, Katie gets involved with a dashing Frenchman (Fernando Lamas) and experiences her first taste of love.

Featuring a tuneful score including "I've Got Out Of Bed On The Right Side", and a fantastic cartoon sequence where Williams cavorts with Tom and Jerry.

I have loved this movie ro years and was thrilled to find it on Amazon! The story line is cute, the acting is witty, and if you have ever loved a musical, this is for you! There's even an interlude with Tom and Jerry. Fun movie!

As a former synchro swimmer and coach of synchro, this movie is a treat. Any Esther Williams movie is enjoyable to me, but this one is also very cute with Tom and Jerry taking an underwater dip with Esther. It's a great movie for kids and adults! Highly recommended -- way cute!

I have been watching this videos since I was 13 years old. It's a family favorite. My sisters and I still sing all the songs! Esther Williams is so fun to watch in this film and does a wonderful job portraying Katie Higgins the "farm girl" who wants to swim the English Channel in order to win money to "buy a bull"! It's just a really sweet film. Ferando Lamas and Esther Williams are so adorable together, they seem like an unlikely couple, but on screen they really can light it up. I highly recommend it to musical lovers everywhere and anyone who just wants to relax with a really good movie.

This swim-intensive movie includes the very peppy tune "I woke up on the right side". Esther Williams is a member of a very athletic family who all decide to swim the English Channel. It includes a fun under-water fantasy sequence with cartoons Tom and Jerry. Overall, this is an Esther Williams movie with bang for the buck, she hardly dries off the entire movie.

I think this is a very good Esther Williams film. Though there is not a lot of fancy swimming scenes, most is done in the ocean, while swiiming the channel. The story line and songs are delightful.

This was a great movie. Fun songs and a fun cast. Jack Carson (Romance on the High Seas) was good in this film and i enjoyed it very much. See it righ away!

So nice to see a movie from yesteryear...very glad i ordered it! Esther Williams is one of my husband's favorite stars and he loved it!

I was always an Esther Williams fan and enjoyed this movie, having also seen it a number of years ago. I grew up in the days of Studios and MGM Musicals and loved most of them. It wasn't one of my favorite pictures, but was very enjoyable, thus I gave it a 4. It was in good condition and was a nice movie for families.
