The Wolves baseball team gets steamed when they find they have been inherited by one K.C. Higgins, a suspected "fathead" who intends to take an active interest in running the team. But K.C. turns outs to be a beautiful woman who really knows her baseball.
There were many MGM musicals, and there were a few pairings of Frank Sinatra and Gene Kelly. Allegedly, Sinatra at this time had bad box office success, except when paired with Kelly. I can see why. Kelly is really the stronger of the two in this film, and Sinatra would not come into his own until his later tough guy movies in the 50s and 60s.
This should not be seen as a classic, but it was a good showpiece for Esther Williams, who seems to be largely forgotten these days (2015). Who even remembers her as a swimming mermaid?
