4 out of 5 stars Should Be on DVD!   August 23, 2005

The Duchess of Idaho is a cute lightweight Comedy starring Esther Williams as a woman who has a friend who is a secretary who is in love with her boss but the boss who uses her to pretend to be his fiance to help chase off his many girlfriends when they start to get too serious is completely clueless that she is in love with him so Esther's character comes up with a wacky scheme to help her friend get her boss to notice her and follows him to Sun Valley in Idaho and pretends to be interested in him but only to get him interested in her friend but that results in a bunch of misunderstandings when she meets and falls for a guy played by Van Johnson. The whole cast was good in this movie but especially Esther Williams and Van Johnson and I had seen Van Johnson in other movies before this but this was the first Esther Williams movie that I ever saw. The Duchess of Idaho is only available on video and is not available on DVD and I want to see it transferred to DVD!

This is a fun movie! Though not Esthers best, still she shows her great ability as an actress. We have many guest appearences in this movie. Including Mel Torme, Lena Horne, Red Skelton, but best of all: Eleanor Powell dances! After been retires from the screen for over three years. She comes back, and proves that she is still the queen of tap!!

The movie begins with Esther's roomate. Who is a secretary to the man she is in love with. But he doesn't care 2 straws about her. To him the only thing she is good for, is taking notes, and getting rid of girls.
That is until Esther contrives a plot to get them together. Van Johnson is also in this, and is wonderful! See it!

This is one of the better Esther Williams outings. The songs are good, as is the opening swimming number. Van Johnson livens things up and Lena Horne pops in for a song. There is also the added excitement of Sun Valley. The plot is older than the ruins of Ancient Rome, but there is an energy and freshness to the film that makes it easy to overlook the deficiencies.
