2.0 out of 5 stars What a disappointment!, February 28, 2007

This review is from: Million Dollar Mermaid (1952) (DVD)

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!

5.0 out of 5 stars A well deserved homage to Anette Kellerman!, October 8, 2005

This review is from: Million Dollar Mermaid (1952) (DVD)

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.

This review is from: Million Dollar Mermaid (1952) (DVD)

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.
