Dangerous When Wet 1953 DVD - Esther Williams / Fernando Lamas

The health-conscious, dairy-farming Higgins family starts every day with an invigorating swim. When traveling health-tonic salesman Windy Weebe arrives in town, he suggests the family could swim the English Channel. Sponsored by "Liquapep" and coached by Windy, the family travels to Europe, where it's decided that daughter Katie is the only one strong enough to enter the contest. As Katie prepares for the difficult and risky challenge ahead, she is pursued by the charming Frenchman, André Lanet. This comedic musical is especially well remembered for the imaginative sequence where Katie dreams she is swimming alongside the cartoon characters Tom & Jerry.
