You can hold your breath that with practice, Esther Williams proved that it takes practice I love you Esther Williams you created a blessed era for the swimmers, and made swimming a blessed skill to be respected
So cool. The obvious camera play sort of cheapened it for me though. The close-up on her while she is supposedly way up in the air is obviously a studio shot superimposed on a background, and then, when she comes up to the surface after her high dive--there is no way that headdress would have remained intact after that head-first dive. And I understand that is standard film-making even today, but for me it is a distraction from the real skill she otherwise displays in the authentic shots.
@@lindaunderberg5210 Linda, did you read my entire comment?

Besides, it's fun to make comments like mine and watch some inevitable make an "It's just a movie" retort.

She was pregnant here so no big stunts
It's all make-believe! Can't you just suspend reality for a brief moment and just enjoy it!?!
