The health conscious, dairy-farming Higgins family begin each day with an invigorating swim. One day, traveling health-tonic salesman, Windy Weebe, comes to town and suggests they could swim the English Channel. Sponsored by "Liquapep" and coached by Windy, the family arrive in Europe. There it is decided that daughter Katie is the only one strong enough to enter the contest. But while she should be focused on the difficult and risky task ahead, Katie is pursed by dashing Frenchman, André Lanet... This comedic musical is well remembered for the scene when Katie dreams she is swimming with cartoon characters Tom & Jerry!

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A buoyant Technicolor romp that bounces between comedy, romance, and spectacle, climaxing in a delightful dream sequence where live-action swimming merges with animated chaos. It's escapist entertainment designed to charm and entertain without demanding anything heavy.
