I absolutely love everything about Esther Williams and I am thankful I found this collection of some her hits. She is the Super Woman of the Ages and this album is no exception. From start to finish I wanted more of the same from Esther. Sadly, her albums of hit productions are scarce. I will continue searching but I did find this collection of exceptional Quality and held me interest throughout and you will too. If you only buy this album you will get the treat of your life of good wholesome entertainment.

This is one of those infamous Warner Brothers box sets churned out between 2006 - 2009 that are prone to disc rot. This was the case here. Three of the movies would not play beyond the first layer. If you want these Esther Williams movies then buy the identical discs that were pressed after 2010. Do NOT buy this set... buy the TCM Classic Legends 4-disc versions instead... or the 4-movie "Icon" sets.

If you're an oldie like me who grew up watching Hollywood musicals on the screen or on TV, you're definitely going to like this set. The five films included have been digitally remastered so the sounds and images compare well to the quality we are used to in more recent films. The plot lines for some of the films can be considered silly, simplistic and perhaps even inane by today's standards but hey, these are pure Hollywood fantasies are they not? All told it's a set worth having if you're a fan of lavish musical production numbers as only old Hollwyood could produce.
If you are an Esther Williams fan, then this collection is for you. There are five movies in this collection. 1 Bathing Beauty (her first movie) 2 Easy To Wed 3 On An Island With You 4 Neptune's Daughter 5 Dangerous When Wet (has a cartoon scene with Tom and Jerry). This is the first volume of two volumes. The second volume has six movies. 1 Thrill Of A Romance 2 Fiesta 3 This Time For Keeps 4 Pagan Love Song 5 Million Dollar Mermaid 6 Easy To Love. Thank you.

esther williams isn't a name you would hear too often if you were under the age of 50, or never watch old films, but from a 23 year old's perspective i am here to say that of all the movie beauties esther is by far my favorite. an amazing story and personal background, this girl who knew nothing of acting or singing became an instant movie star for a very good reason (and i dont mean how she looked in a bathing suit) she bonded instantly to the camera and without having to create an alternate persona captured everyones hearts, including mine. her smile and control in the water is a lost art, and these happy feel good movies are for any day of the week. this generation may not be as aware of her, but i sure am, and her body of work has made me awful happy.
