Splash
She was the woman of Allen's dreams. She had large dark eyes, a beautiful smile and a great pair of fins.
Directed by Ron Howard
Produced by Touchstone Pictures
A charming romantic fantasy-comedy about an ordinary man's whimsical love affair with a mermaid, balancing magical strangeness with genuine warmth and humor.
A successful businessman falls in love with the girl of his dreams. There's one big complication though; he's fallen hook, line and sinker for a mermaid.
