“Neptune’s Daughter” is a big MGM movie production featuring the water ballet of Esther Williams as well as comedy, drama, romance, and music supplied by Xavier Cugat and is orchestra. The song “Baby, It’s Cold Outside” by Frank Loesser won the film’s sole Academy Award for Best Original Song.
Esther Williams co-stars include Red Skelton, Ricardo Montalban, Betty Garrett, Keenan Wynn, Xavier Cugat, Ted de Corsia, Mike Mazurki, George Mann, Frank Mitchell, and Mel Blanc as Pancho. Edward Buzzell (“Honolulu” 1939) expertly directed this entertaining spectacle, filmed in Technicolor, from an outstanding script by Dorothy Kingsley. The immensely entertaining and watchable “Neptune’s Daughter” was a big hit in theatrical release for Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer.
