You know, when I was a kid I used to think they really were able to hold their breath that long! I thought something was wrong with me because I couldn't! Oh, and about the tooth fairy -- if there really is one, I've been robbed. After all the dental work I've had done, losing teeth and getting crowns, bridges, etc., I should be a millionaire by now!ClassicBeckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03591715859057540467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7092350404895325373.post-29750038150842026782012-12-12T18:40:04.184-05:002012-12-12T18:40:04.184-05:00Thank you, Becky.

It was pretty much a fun piece of fluff, but what's wrong with fun? I had to laugh when you said watching underwater scenes ended with you on the floor from holding your breath. I have always felt the same way. I can't breathe during those numbers. We forget that they aren't doing them in one long shot. Nobody could hold their breath that long! I enjoyed this post very much.ClassicBeckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03591715859057540467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7092350404895325373.post-11822473212460366042012-12-12T14:24:08.922-05:002012-12-12T14:24:08.922-05:00No, I've never seen "Here Come the Waves&...No, I've never seen "Here Come the Waves", but I'll keep a lookout. I have to admit, Betty Hutton's gigantic and overwhelming screen personality I prefer to take in small doses. But I'd like to see it.Jacqueline T.

I do think Esther's talents as a comedic actress are unfairly overlooked. Fluff is fun for a Sunday afternoon in front of the TV, but at the same time, as you point out, we learn so much about a time from how the characters are represented.<br /><br />My favourite movie WAVES are the twins played by Betty Hutton in "Here Come the Waves". Have you seen it?Caftan Womanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05936895555808823221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7092350404895325373.post-70825301719820217082012-12-10T17:39:13.194-05:002012-12-10T17:39:13.194-05:00Thanks, Yvette.

She really was an unusual person for Hollywood in that time: an athlete, who was also glamorous, and very natural on camera.Jacqueline T.

So, obviously, I was operating under a misconception. :)<br /><br />The funny thing is I was never really REALLY a major Esther Williams fan, it's just that she usually made fun movies that was cheerful time well spent. (Well, except for her dramas.)<br /><br />I do love Vivian Blaine, though. :)<br /><br />Thanks for another very well-written post. You always make me want to watch a movie even if I was originally not inclined to. :)Yvettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08919246184376538331noreply@blogger.com
