Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaIn an article in "Look" magazine that came out at the time the film was released, Ann Blyth said that the hardest part of making the movie was trying to learn to swim whilst wearing the mermaid tail. She said that she practiced for more than a week before she felt comfortable with not being able to kick her legs to help her swim.
- GoofsIn the underwater fight scene, one shot shows that the fishtail costume had clearly separated from Lenore's back.
- Quotes
Mike Fitzgerald: Mr Peabody is an American freak. He's just been leering at his own wife.
Cathy Livingston: How charming! You must be a dream of a husband.

Featured review
Better than 'Splash'
Slightly bizarre little '40's comedy about a middle-aged married man's mid-life crisis solved by the discovery of a young mermaid while fishing in the Caribbean.
William Powell (The Thin Man series) carries the picture on his charm alone and Ann Blyth (Veda in Mildred Pierce) makes a very cute and seductive sea creature. Some droll set pieces -Peabody's attempt to purchase a swim top for his catch, the various encounters with the busy-body's who come to snoop- work quite nicely and Powell actually creates some genuine moments of heartfelt desire but it runs out of steam before long, turns dark, then ends with a thud.
Regardless, the film is a harmless little buried treasure and more than worth a look.
