She was the woman of Allen's dreams. She had large dark eyes, a beautiful smile and a great pair of fins.

In "Splash" (1984), a fish-out-of-water romance unfolds when a wealthy executive, played by Tom Hanks, encounters a mermaid (Daryl Hannah) in the ocean. Their initial encounter is as fleeting as it is transformative, setting off a chain of events that brings the enigmatic creature to his doorstep in New York City. As they navigate the complexities of human life and the encroaching reality of her true nature, the film balances charm and wit, exploring the clash between the mundane and the fantastical.
