The Aqualillies perform for film legend and water ballet star Esther Williams and actress Betty Garrett at the first ever Turner Classic Movies Film Festival in Hollywood. The event was a smash hit at the historic Roosevelt Hotel where the Aqualillies performed their water show before the screening of Neptune's Daughter. www.Aqualillies.com
None of the audio in this clip was used in the film, and Esther's reprise of "Sea of the Moon" was cut. I've used scenes from the released film and from "That's Entertainment III" to approximate how the music and song might have fit in. In the final edit, Esther and Howard swam to "Pagan Love Song," not "Sea of the Moon," as originally planned. Another decision to remove Esther's voice! ,
Another lost Esther Williams vocal. Someone involved in this film, perhaps producer Arthur Freed, didn't want her voice to be heard. Her section of this Harry Warren/Arthur Freed song was cut, her voice was dubbed in another song, and a third number was cut completely. This outtake was included in "That's Entertainment III" but with only a piano track. Here it is with the full MGM orchestra, in stereo, and inserted into its proper place in the film. .

Could this vision be Yemanjá, mother goddess, patron deity of women and most important, Queen of the Ocean? Howard Keel is mesmerized by the beauty of his visitor! Wouldn't you be? Actually Yemanjá has nothing to do with this movie or clip; I just happen to like and honor her, and who better to personify this goddess than our own "Sea Goddess," Esther Williams!DISCLAIMER: All rights reserved to the production companies and music labels that distributed and produced the music and performance respectively.

Born Aug. 8, 1921, Presently lives in California.
An apology in advance; I've never tried this before! The sensual musical background is from one who might have been the "Queen of Tango!" Not to get too technical, but she made an enemy of her countrywoman, the fabled "Evita Peron," and never really could get over in the place of her birth. She did beautifully in Mexico, the US, and the rest of the world. Hope you like her exotic song accompanying two of the loveliest people in the world. Know this clip has already been beautifully represented here on YT, but not with this unique background. Hope you'll enjoy!DISCLAIMER: All rights reserved to the production companies and music labels that distributed and produced the music and performance respectively.

Esther Williams I have seen most of her movies with the aqua scenes. The million dollars Mermaid is making those aqua scenes performance look easy. Although knowing that she was an Olympic performance swimmer.... and so gorgeous a lady.

In honor of today being Esther Williams 88th birthday, here is a tribute to her. Her water muscials of the 1940s and '50s earned her the title of "America's Mermaid" and being an acclaimed swimming champion, her films usually had elaborate dance sequences involving swimming. I don't own the music or pictures. No copyright fringe intended.
