我来说说：Bathing Beauty (1944)
June 28, 1944
' Bathing Beauty,' Bright Musical, in Which Red Skelton and Esther Williams Are Starred, Presented at Astor Theatre
By BOSLEY CROWTHER
Published: June 28, 1944

Under atmospheric conditions which were nothing short of ideal. Metro brought its new musical, "Bathing Beauty," to the Astor yesterday. And while citizens melted on the sidewalks, gratified audiences within were pounded gaily by the raves of Red skelton and were sprayed in brilliance by a water carnival. For Metro has put on another of its spectacular musical shows combining all the Technicolors of the rainbow and much of the talent on its lot. Aside from Mr. Skelton, it has Esther Williams to adorn the title role and the bands of Xavier Cugat and Harry James to play those lilting, liquid tunes. Hundreds of beautiful maidens make themselves conspicuous everywhere. You don't have to go to the beach to look 'em over, now that "Bathing Beauty" is on Broadway.

To be sure, the title is slightly bogus—one of those innocent deceits of Hollywood. For the story is barely related to the subject which is clearly implied. It has to do with a songwriter—Mr. Skelton, of course—who becomes a student at a young ladies' seminary in order to be near the particular young lady who is his wife. And most of the farcical action is performed by the masculine and un-beauteous Red, who has hilarious troubles of all manner, from eurythmics to an amorous Great Dane.

However, the presence of Miss Williams as a swimming teacher—and as Mr. Skelton's wife—is the justification by which Metro uses the title that it does. And Miss Williams' talents as a swimmer—not to mention her other attributes—make any title the studio wants to put on it okay by us. When she eels through the crystal blue water in a rosy-red bathing suit or splashes in limpid magnificence in the gaudy water carnival which John Murray Anderson has brought to pass, she's a bathing beauty for our money, even though dragged in by the heels.

But then, of course, most things in such pictures are dragged in conveniently, and that goes, in this case, for the music, which is none the less pleasant when it comes. Mr. Cugat and his orchestra are especially good on "Te Quiero Dijuste," which Carlos Ramirez sings most heartily and Lina Romay shakes briskly to. And Mr. James and his melodians—plus Mr. Skelton and a lively vocal gang—wax happy on "I'll Take the High Note," while the popular trumpeter plays "Hora Staccato" brilliantly.

In other words, "Bathing Beauty" is a colorful shower of music, comedy and dance. As July pants hotly on June's heels, it is a pleasant refreshment to have at hand.

Bathing Beauty is a 1944 musical starring Red Skelton and Esther Williams. Although this was not William's screen debut, it was however her first Technicolor musical montage. The film however was originally meant to be a comedy vehicle for co-star Red Skelton, but the focus changed once the audience took in Esther's homegrown beauty and alluring aquatic performances.


Plot
In Los Angeles, popular songwriter Steve Elliott prepares to marry Caroline Brooks, who has pledged to give up her job as a college swimming instructor once she has wed. Likewise, Steve plans to quit his songwriting career, even though New York producer George Adams has already hired him to write new songs for a water ballet show. When George overhears Steve discussing his "retirement" with Caroline, he vows to prevent the marriage and enlists Maria Dorango, an aspiring actress posing as a Latin American singer, to help him. Moments after a justice of the peace pronounces the redheaded Steve and Caroline man and wife, Maria rushes in, claiming that Steve is her husband and the father of her three redheaded children. Although Steve pleads his innocence, Caroline storms off in a rage and returns to her teaching post at Victoria College in New Jersey. A determined Steve and his friend, Carlos Ramirez, follow her there, but are denied entrance to the all-female school. Later, in a New York nightclub, Steve meets drunken lawyer Chester Klazenfrantz and learns that Klazenfrantz has been hired to change the charter of Victoria College, which has never officially designated itself as all-female. Armed with this information, Steve returns to Victoria and insists on applying for admission. Unaware of Caroline's relationship to Steve, Dean Clinton suggests to the faculty that he be admitted for a two-week probationary period, during which time they would give him 100 demerits, which would qualify him for expulsion before Parents Day.

Once enrolled, Steve tries to speak with Caroline, but she refuses to listen to his explanations and tells him she is seeking an annulment. Later, in music class, stodgy Professor Hendricks attempts to discredit Steve, whose presence on campus has created a furor among the co-eds, by ordering him to write his own version of the Scottish ballad "Loch Lomond" and teach the next day's class. With help from several talented students, Carlos and their friend Harry James and his orchestra, Steve meets Hendricks' challenge and is awarded an "A." That night, Steve visits Caroline at her house, but is turned out after Willis Evans, a conservative botany professor who is in love with Caroline, arrives. When Caroline realizes that Steve is hiding in her closet, spying on her, she commands Willis' Great Dane to guard the closet door, while reminding Steve that unless he is in his room in five minutes, he will be expelled for breaking curfew. With only seconds to spare, Steve manages to trick the dog long enough to escape back to his dingy basement room. Steve is then visited by George, who threatens to vilify him in the press unless he finishes his songs. When Steve swears deadly revenge on the person who hired Maria, however, George backs down and offers to help Steve do his homework. Concerned about the approaching Parents Day, Dean Clinton, meanwhile, commands Steve's professors, who have penalized him with only fifty-five demerits, to bear down on him. To that end, Mme. Zarka, Steve's ruthlessly strict ballet teacher, forces him to wear a tutu and dance with the co-eds, but Steve once again rises to the occasion. A now desperate Dean Clinton asks Caroline to go out with Steve and ensure that he arrives back at Victoria after the curfew. Caroline agrees, but during the evening, Steve convinces her of his innocence, and as they drive back to school, the newlyweds make plans to return to California together. Unknown to Caroline and Steve, Maria is on campus, looking to expose George, who has been trying to get rid of her, to Steve. At the same time, a campus sororiety descends on Steve's room, hoping to initiate him, and Jean Allenwood, another co-ed, shows up with news that her parents and Dean Clinton are on their way over to inspect his room. As Steve desperately hides all the women in two closets and keeps Caroline from discovering Maria, George unexpectedly arrives. Although Steve succeeds in hiding George and himself and fooling Dean Clinton and the Allenwoods, Maria soon makes her presence known to Caroline, who once again leaves in a fury. Later, Steve promises to write songs for George's water ballet show on condition he make Caroline the star. George agrees, and after Maria is finally able to tell Caroline the truth, Caroline happily reunites with Steve, who then gives George a thrashing.


Trivia
With the film's wonderful tunes and extravagant water sequences, Bathing Beauty was a smash at the box office. It marked the studio's third highest grossing film to date, next to Gone with the Wind (1939) and Ben-Hur (1925)
