Million Dollar Mermaid ★★ 1952

The prototypical Williams aquashow, with the requisite awesome Berkeley dance numbers. As a biography of swimmer Annette Kellerman it isn't much, but as an MGM extravaganza, it fits the bill. 115m/C VHS . Esther Williams, Victor Mature, Walter Pidgeon, Jesse White, David Brian, Maria Tall-chief, Howard Freeman, Busby Berkeley; D: Mervyn LeRoy; C: George J. Folsey.
