A #TCMFF tradition has been watching a film poolside at the legendary Hollywood Roosevelt. The first screening was the lavish Esther Williams musical NEPTUNE'S DAUGHTER ('49) with Williams herself in attendance along with Betty Garrett and synchronized swimmers. #SummerUnderTheStars | Turner Classic Movies: TCM

This unforgettable sequence where Esther Williams swims with Tom and Jerry in DANGEROUS WHEN WET ('53) was directed by Fred Quimby, William Hanna and Joe Barbera, the same team who had first brought the idea to the screen in 1945's ANCHORS AWEIGH with a dancing Gene Kelly. | Turner Classic Movies: TCM
