The BEST Esther Williams movie!
This film has CHEMISTRY! Combining the delightful vocal and acting talents of Howard Keel (Hannibal) and Esther Williams (Amytis, aka, Jupiter's Darling)--it's a delight to watch. Even though the VHS isn't usually in the original widescreen Cinemascope, it's a MUST SEE! Amytis is a Roman maiden intended to wed boring ruler Fabius. She hears that Hannibal has come to seize Rome and sneaks out to meet him. Hannibal is a swaggering, mesmerizing, handsome barbarian. The two clash but are instantly attracted to each other. Hilarious dialogue, fast-moving plot, enjoyable musical numbers, delightful swimming sequences with Esther, and a great ending--all reasons to see this rare film if you can! The supporting actor/actress relationship is cute as well. It also has a famous "elephant scene" with dancing elephants and was also her last movie with MGM.
God bless, CB =)
