Audience Member Tried watching this but it's cringeworthy. Red Skelton may have been a cut-up for Forties and Fifties audiences, but he was basically Jerry Lewis before Jerry Lewis. Maybe the French will like this. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 10/16/24 Full Review ashley h Neptune's Daughter is an okay film. It is about a swimsuit fashion designer who is determined to protect her scatterbrained sister from a South American heart-breaker. Esther Williams and Ricardo Montalban give decent performances. The screenplay is a little slow in places. Edward Buzzell did an alright job directing this movie. I liked this motion picture because of the humor and romance. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member The best musical movie ever made! With the best movie song ever sung: Baby, It's Cold Outside! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Audience Member The title really does not represent the film well at all, nor does the description above. Nonetheless the movie is magical and full of comedy, mistaken identities, and of course at least one swimming sequence! This film debuted "Baby, It's Cold Outside," and wow they certainly do it justice! Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Audience Member This screwball musical-comedy is light on the storyline, but great on the show-tunes and choreography. It's also super fun to watch these dated 50s films and all of the hockeyness. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member I've recently developed an obsession with the young Ricardo Montalban. He rarely played non-ethnic parts and was largely cast as a native person or a latin lover. This film falls into the later category. Esther Williams is a bathing-suit designer who falls for polo player, latin lover Montalban. Red Skelton has a funny supporting role as a polo club worker mistaken for polo star Montalban, who then assumes the part to woo William's friend, Betty Garrett. Mel Blanc is a waiter who does his Speedy Gonzalez voice four years prior to Speedy's first appearance. Keenan Wynn serves as the films narrator, though I'm not sure why the film needed this. The story is fluff, but the stars are all very likable and how can you resist Montalban and Williams sining the original version of the Academy Award winning song "Baby It's Cold Outside.'' This film continues my obsession with Montalban, even if it was one of his stereotypical parts. Montalban has a commanding screen presence and this film was the first time I'd seen him sing, which made me appreciate him on a whole new level. This is a must see for Montalban fans, although I suspect there really aren't many out there besides fans of Khan. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews
