With 'Dangerous When Wet' I decided it was finally time for me to see one of Esther William's aquamusicals (think Scarlett Johansson in 'Hail, Caesar'). Energy drink (Lequipep) promotor Jack Carson is training Arkansas girl William's to swim The English Channel. She is romanced by Fernando Lamas and has a longish dream sequence with cartoon characters Tom & Jerry. William Demarest plays William's father and in this movie he has three girls, one which is played by Barbara Whiting, daughter of the late Hooray for Hollywood' composer Richard A. Whiting. The original songs in this movie are by Johnny Mercer, whose 'I Got Out of Bed on the Right Side' is overplayed. Interesting as novelty. **
