Splash is a 1984 fantasy film and romantic comedy film directed by Ron Howard and written by Lowell Ganz and Babaloo Mandel. Although originally conceived as an "adult" film, Splash today is considered by some to be a family-friendly movie.
Tagline: Two days ago, this girl showed up naked at the Statue of Liberty. For Allen Bauer, it was love at first sight. Now, everyone is chasing her... trying to prove she's a mermaid. From the first laugh you'll be hooked.
She was the woman of Allen's dreams. She had large dark eyes, a beautiful smile and a great pair of fins.
The film was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay. The original music score was composed by Lee Holdridge.
Allen Bauer is rescued from drowning as a young boy off Cape Cod by a young mermaid. Years later he returns to the same location, and once again manages to fall into the sea, and is rescued once more by the mermaid (Allen isn't sure what he's seen and what he's imagined). The mermaid decides to search for Allen in New York, sprouting legs when her tail dries. On finding Allen, they fall in love, but she has a secret, which will no longer be a secret if she gets her legs wet.. Written by Rob Hartill
