Bathing Beauty 1944 MGM Movie Script (1st Esther Williams Aqua Musical). Original script for the 1944 MGM film Bathing Beauty starring Esther Williams and Red Skelton bound in dark blue leather by the screenwriter, Frank Waldman.

Lacks a title page but along the top of each page is the preliminary title. The script contains 110 white and pink mimeographed pages with dates ranging from 9-1-43 to 1-8-44, The dark blue leather binding has the film title embossed and printed in gold on the front cover and spine and Frank Waldman's name embossed and printed in the gold on the front cover. This was Frank's earliest credit listed on IMDb. He shared screenwriting credit with Dorothy Kingsley and Allen Boretz.

I acquired the script from the estate of Frank Waldman. The movie was a milestone in the history of MGM.

Bathing Beauty was the first so-called aqua musical starring Esther Williams in a swimming extravaganza. Was a smash hit and led to a series of ever more spectacular aqua musicals starring Esther, including. Neptune's Daughter (1949), Million Dollar Mermaid (1952) and Dangerous When Wet (1953). Which featured an animated sequence of Esther swimming with cartoon characters Tom and Jerry.

These movies were among the most profitable that MGM produced in their day. Scripts from any of the movies are exceedingly scarce.
