Mr. Peabody and the Mermaid (1948)

While fishing on vacation Mr. Peabody accidentally hooks a mermaid and it complicates his life. Staring 55 year old William Powell and 19 year old Ann Blyth (who is still with us at 93). I was really disappointed in this, it should have been funner, they went with droll when they should have gone with manic. Blyth is around a third Powell's age, she doesn't talk and loves him madly, the whole thing is a slightly sad mid life crises metaphor. **
