Million Dollar Mermaid tells the story of Australian swimming sensation Annette Kellerman, who overcame childhood polio to go on and achieve fame as a professional swimmer and film star in the early decades of the 20th century. At the same time, she scandalized the world by wearing a one-piece bathing suit on public beaches long before the style was accepted in polite company, and made waves in other ways as well. The story was a perfect vehicle decades later to showcase the star quality of Esther Williams in the 1950s, and Kellerman's moniker was picked up by Life Magazine when it named Ms. Williams the "Million Dollar Mermaid" herself.

| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzIf you can get past the tedious love story, then you will be rewarded in seeing the absolute best water-ballet routines ever filmed. |
| Chicago ReaderDon DrukerAnother audacious MGM aquacade, this 1952 Mervyn LeRoy extravaganza stars Esther Williams as the famed Australian swimmer Annette Kellerman and Victor Mature as the man who discovers first her and then Rin Tin Tin. But the real star is, as always, Busby Berkeley, who contributes more of his Ken Russell-ish wet dreams. |

It also includes an abundance of Miss Williams and Victor Mature, but it does not include the felicities of a reasonably fascinating script. |
| User ReviewShadow LMost amazing performance by Esther Williams. It would have to be, she practically broke her neck making this. |
| User ReviewAshley "Esther Williams is wonderful swimmer, I don't know how they worked so much swimming into one movie! |
| User ReviewMarco Treally cool swimming stuff..the first time i saw it there were a few parts i didnt believe she was actually under water because she's smiling soo much |
| User ReviewTara Eloved it....the colour, the costumes, Esther Williams is a genius. |
| User ReviewMaeghan SI love you Esther Williams. And she actually did break vertebrae making it. |
| User ReviewMichelle HWatched as a kid with my Nana. Totally love it. Esther Williams is thoroughly entertaining! |
| User ReviewMichelle (Shiva) MWonderful! Esther Williams was a phenomenal swimmer, especially considering that this movie was made in the early 50s. |
