Neptune's Daughter (1949)

When her sister (Betty Garrett) becomes besotted with an Argentinean polo player, a swimsuit designer (Esther Williams) tries to break it up but finds her self attracted to the polo player (Ricardo Montalban) herself. What she doesn't know is that the sister is in love with a masseur (Red Skelton) pretending to be the polo player. Comedic complications ensue. One of the better Esther Williams vehicles, she actually spends very little time in the water here with only one underwater ballet at the very end of the film. So while Williams and Montalban provide the glamour and romance, Garrett and Skelton provide the laughs and Frank Loesser (GUYS AND DOLLS) provides the songs which include the Oscar winning hit, the delightful Baby, It's Cold Outside. But the musical highlight is the spectacular, frenetic Jungle Rhumba choreographed by Jack Donohue. It's all wrapped up in lush MGM Technicolor and pleasant all around. Directed by Edward Buzzell. With Keenan Wynn, Xavier Cugat, Ted De Corsia, Mike Mazurki, Joi Lansing, Theresa Harris, Sara Shane and Mel Blanc.
