Julie Hallerton (Esther Williams) is the star water performer at Cypress Gardens in Florida. Ray Lloyd (Van Johnson) runs the show with his cast of beautiful babes. Ray avoids romances and revels in his success. Julie is over-worked and under-appreciated. That's half of their love-hate relationship. She goes on a photo shoot with singer Barry Gordon (Tony Martin).
This is all very 50's; the style, the look, the music, and many other things. Esther Williams fans will probably like this. She does her water works and does mostly fine. The romance has functional love-hate bickering although it's not all that fun. It leans more on the hate side. He's condescending and she's full of frustrations. In the end, I'm not sure about this pairing.
