What Is You Said a Mouthful About?
The premise of You Said a Mouthful without spoilers.
Two unrelated men share the name Joe Holt—one a modest shipping clerk, the other a celebrated Canadian swimming champion. A society lady mistakes the clerk for the inventor of an “unsinkable” swimsuit and, eager for novelty, enrolls him in a grueling 20‑mile open‑water race, sparking a cascade of slapstick mishaps.
