MINI REVIEW:
NEPTUNE'S DAUGHTER (1949)
STARRING: ESTHER WILLIAMS and RICARDO MONTALBAN
DIRECTED BY:EDWARD BUZZELL

Do yourself a favor: Start at the beginning. Watch Esther swim. Skip forward about 15 minutes to the little swimwear 'fashion show' in the movie that features some of the cutest vintage swimwear I've ever seen. Skip forward another 10 minutes or so to the quartet performance of 'Baby, It's Cold Outside'-probably one of the most darling songs ever written. Then, fast forward to the very end and watch the all too brief water ballet that concludes the film. Belive me, you've missed nothing.

There is supposed to be a story line involving two sisters and some confusion about the identity of a cuban polo player. Whatever, I lost complete interest after the cute swimwear.

My rating: 4/10 (but only for the bathing suits and the great song!)
