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
a minor gem
This little-known film is a delightfully whimsical fable about male menopause, although the term didn't exist when it was made. William Powell, unwilling to face the encroachment of old age, receives the gift of a visitation from an altogether fetching mermaid, who sparks the diminishing flames of his youthful ardor. Powell is simply wonderful in the role, as he is in anything, as Maltin so rightly observes. This is a charming, touching, and, in the end, poignant tale.
