Williams swims the Channel again in this delightful comedy/aqua-musical; between laps, she is romanced by Fernando Lamas. Albert Johnson writes, “Dangerous When Wet is, for many, the best of the Esther Williams vehicles, with a good musical score by Arthur Schwartz and Johnny Mercer.... Miss Williams does a swim number with the animated cartoon heroes, Tom and Jerry, and all-in-all, is in very lovely shape. Her supporting cast, especially Charlotte Greenwood and Barbara Whiting, exudes merriment and song; in brief, this film is a rediscovery.”
