Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaAfter Frank Loesser's "Baby, It's Cold Outside" was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Original Song, other songwriters protested because Loesser originally had written it in 1944 as a duet for himself and his wife to sing at parties, and they argued that it, therefore, should not be counted as an "original" song. The Academy, though, ruled that since the song never had been performed professionally before it appeared in the film, it was eligible, and it went on to win the award.

Featured review
"Baby, It's Cold Outside"...so stay indoors and watch this wacky comedy-musical...
Esther Williams had some fairly amusing comedies in the '40s that had her jumping into a pool every so often to keep her "Million Dollar Mermaid" label intact. She not only swims here, but joins in the fun and even lends herself to a funny rendition of "Baby, It's Cold Outside" with Ricardo Montalban while Red Skelton is doing his own version of the song with Betty Garrett. It's a wacky bit of fun about Red being mistaken for a polo player. He has some wild slapstick scenes--one of which has him joining a bevy of bathing beauties as he attempts to fit into a water ballet (reminiscent of his hijinks in "Bathing Beauty"). His partner in fun is Betty Garrett who delivers her own special brand of comedy with no strain at all.
Ricardo Montalban is an excellent foil for Esther's romantic scenes as the wealthy polo player. The blurb on the video jacket offers a quote from the N.Y. Times: "The most entertaining of all the aquatic spectacles in which Esther Williams has starred."
'Nuff said. Enjoy!
