Mississippi Mermaid (1969)

Poster for Mississippi Mermaid

The bride came as advertised... with an unadvertised special.

A tobacco planter on Réunion island in the Indian Ocean becomes engaged through correspondence to a French woman he does not know. The woman that arrives does not look like the picture he received, but he marries her anyway.
