Mr. Peabody and the Mermaid is 1948 fantasy-comedy film directed by Irving Pichel and starring William Powell and Ann Blyth, with Irene Hervey, Andrea King, Clinton Sundberg, and Art Smith. The story is told through flashback from Dr. Harvey's (Smith) psychiatry about the events during Arthur Peabody's (Powell) midlife crisis.Arthur and his wife Polly (Hervey) leave their Boston home for a vacation in the Caribbean to celebrate Arthur's birthday. However, Arthur can't seem to remember how old he's going to be and as he tries to work out the dates, he hears singing from an island and plans to investigate. Tension grows between him and his wife after the two of them start to talk to other tourists, including Major Hadley (Hugh French) and Cathy Livingston (King), leading to a confused Arthur accidentally catching a mermaid (Blyth) during fishing the next day. Guilty, he starts to befriend her, eventually falling in love with her.Hilarity Ensues.Not to be confused with the dog Mr. Peabody from Peabody's Improbable History or Mr. Peabody & Sherman.

Cassandra Truth: Arthur tells Mike about Lenore, but he assumes it's a stupid idea to cover up murdering his wife. Arthur tells Polly that he caught a mermaid, but since she only saw the tail, she thinks it's a big fish.

Awful Wedded Life: There is clearly some tension between the Peabody couple on their vacation; Arthur is ashamed and irritated with his wife's behaviour as she flirts with other tourists, despite MAJ Hadley reminding her that she's married. They drive back to the hotel in a gloomy silence.

Clingy Jealous Girl: Lenore, who attacks Cathy when she dives into the aquarium, possibly thinking that she's potential competition for Arthur. She also fights back tears when she hears that Arthur possibly murdered someone.
