Esther Williams is a movie star engaged to her co-star, Ricardo Montalban. She is stalked by a Navy lieutenant, Peter Lawford, who kidnaps her and flies her to a remote Hawaiian island. Maybe such a move wasn't creepy in 1948 when this was made? Overall weak musical. Some nice Xavier Cugat numbers and Jimmy Durante does his Jimmy Durante thing.
