Skirts Ahoy!

Warner Archive Collection (series)

Three women, three different situations: Whitney (Esther Williams), a rich girl who leaves her groom at the altar; Una (Vivian Blaine), a shopgirl whose desire to marry is continually thwarted by the duty assignments of her sailor boyfriend; Mary Kate (Joan Evans), who was left at the altar by a hesitant fiance. Soon, all three women report for induction at the Great Lakes Naval Training Station and end up roommates. What follows is a frothy and fun musical buoyed by a chipper cast and seven tunes by Ralph Blane and Harry Warren.

Esther Williams leads the cast in this musical story of ten weeks of training in boot camp for three Navy WAVES and their boyfriends.
