Esther Williams tries to spice up a movie whose only salacious thing is its title
In my free time I host a classic film podcast called Ticklish Business and, in the interest of spreading my love of classic film, I’ll be including episodes here for your listening enjoyment. You can listen to Ticklish Business via Spotify and Apple Podcasts. You can also subscribe to our Patreon where we have bonus episodes and more.
Summer comes to a close and we're saying farewell to the beach with Esther Williams and the 1953 movie Dangerous When Wet. It's been a minute since we've disagreed on a movie and we look at Williams as a swimming star, her relationship with Fernando Lamas, and Kristen does dramatic readings from Williams's autobiography.
