Skirts Ahoy! (1952) cast and crew credits, including actors, actresses, directors, writers and more.
Skirts Ahoy! is a 1952 musical film directed by Sidney Lanfield, and starring Esther Williams, Vivian Blaine and Joan Evans. Shot in Technicolor, the film follows several women who join the WAVES with sequences filmed on location at the Great Lakes Naval Training Station. It also features the film debut of Billy Eckstine.
'Skirts Ahoy!' is not a sinking dud, but considering the talent involved (as well as Williams, there's Vivian Blaine, Debbie Reynolds, Bobby Van and songs penned by Harry Warren and Ralph Blane) it should have been better, much better.
Esther Williams as outstanding U.S. Navy WAVES recruit Whitney, gets chosen as her company officer, and celebrates with a song by Harry Warren and Ralph Blane, supported by all five DeMarco sisters, in MGM’s Skirts Ahoy!, 1952.
