Esther Williams, swimming champion and 'aqua spectacular' movie star died in June this year. As I'd always rather enjoyed her water ballet movies, I looked up her filmography just on the off chance of finding something - anything - that could feature on the Mystery Movie site.

Success! She starred in a pretty good, rather interesting, noir-ish mystery thriller The Unguarded Moment that I was delighted to watch and review.

This movie is not all that easy to find for free. I eventually watched it on YouTube, but it's also available to buy on DVD.

Have you seen it? Do you think Esther did well in a dramatic role? Could she have gone on to greater things?
