Description

A vintage French movie poster of ''Million Dollar Mermaid'', a 1952 biographical musical film directed by Mervyn LeRoy and starring Esther Williams in the lead role. The movie is based on the real-life story of Australian swimmer and aquatic performer Annette Kellerman.

The film traces the life of Annette Kellerman, who, despite suffering from childhood illness and being unable to walk properly, becomes a world-renowned swimmer and aquatic performer. Esther Williams plays the role of Kellerman, and the movie showcases her rise to fame as a professional swimmer and her transformation into a successful performer in aquatic shows.

One of the highlights of the film is the elaborate and visually stunning water ballet sequences, which Esther Williams was known for in many of her films. These aquatic performances are choreographed with precision and feature intricate synchronized swimming routines that were a trademark of Esther Williams' career.

"Million Dollar Mermaid" also explores Kellerman's personal life, including her relationships and her efforts to break free from societal norms and expectations for women of her time. The film's title, "Million Dollar Mermaid," alludes to the high-value insurance policy Kellerman reportedly had on her legs, which were considered her most valuable assets due to her swimming and performing career.

Overall, "Million Dollar Mermaid" is a colorful and entertaining biographical film that combines elements of drama, romance, and spectacle, with a focus on the world of aquatic performance and the remarkable life of Annette Kellerman. It remains a notable entry in the genre of Hollywood musicals and aquatic-themed movies from the golden age of cinema.
