The following content was provided by the publisher.
"Bathing Beauty" - A big splash in her first starring role: Williams is a teacher at a women's college - and wacky Red Skelton enrolls to be near her. An astonishing flames-and-fountains aquatic finale.
"Easy To Wed" - A spiffy remake of the screwball classic "Libeled Lady", with Esther as the lady libeled. Van Johnson, Keenan Wynn and Lucille Ball round out a funny four-sided love triangle.
"On An Island With You" - Paradise for musical-comedy fans! Esther (in a series of swimsuits and sarongs) plays a film star on a tropical location shoot. With Ricardo Montalban, Cyd Charisse and Jimmy Durante.
"Neptune's Daughter" - The polo team's in town and so is the fun for Esther, Ricardo Montalban, Red Skelton and Betty Garrett. Includes Frank Loesser songs and one of Esther's greatest splash-happy finales.
"Dangerous When Wet" - Cartoon legends Tom and Jerry join Esther in the light-hearted extravaganza about a girl who swims the English Channel - and meets a dashing Frenchman (Fernando Lamas).
