Hello all I am looking for a movie and I'm not sure this is it. The movie involved synchronised swimming scenes, the most interesting ones were done under water and shot throught a glass walled tank?

The story of the movie may have revolved around a family who may have been part of a traveling circus or something. The female star may also have been an Olympic swimming champion.

If anyone has seen the movie above or knows where I could view some stills of the film I would be indebted to them, perhaps sombody could describe a swimming scene to me and it would jog my memory.

Not sure weather Tom and Jerry may have done an animated scene in the film with the female lead.
Any help would be really appreciated.

Thanks again.

I just read some of the other IMDb reviews, and it sounds like Dangerous When Wet is the title you're looking for. Look at the reviews - they all mention the scene w/Tom and Jerry

I believe this is the movie you are thinking about as it does have many 'shot through glass' moments and elaborate synchronised swimming scenes. It is the story about Annette KELLEMAN, the Australian swimmer who became a world glass act at the Hippodrome in New York and a an unintentional cult figure for women's rights.
