NEPTUNE'S DAUGHTER
(M.G.M.) STHER WILLIAMS as an ex-swim- ~ ming champion become a mantfacturer of swim-suits (which she models herself) gets romantically mixed up with a South American polo player (Richard Montalban), whose identity is in turn mixed up with that of Red Skelton, in love with Esther’s "sister,’’ Betty Garrett. When true love palls, the slapstick parody gf it by the latter two keeps us laughing, as do Red’s attempts at polo-playing. Xavier Cugat and his band, an aqua-parade, and a bright little seng ("Baby, it’s cold outside"), complete the quota. But why not more of Skelton and less of that uxorious Latin? He definitely palls.
