Bathing Beauty

In this 1944 American musical romantic comedy, songwriter Steve Elliot (Red Skelton) prepares to marry Caroline Brooks, who has pledged to give up her job as a college swimming instructor, but Steve plans to quit his songwriting career, much to the dismay of New York producer George Adams. When Steve's first wife Maria arrives on campus with claims that he is her husband and father of three children, Caroline storms off in anger and returns to her teaching post at Victoria College. Steve enrolls as a student, disguising himself from Caroline, but their paths eventually cross again when Dean Clinton orders him to complete his homework and perform in music class, all while dealing with various obstacles, including a strict eurythmic instructor and a rival suitor for Caroline's affections, Willis Evans.
