What Boat Is This - 1

[kach22i]

I'm home sick watching the old movie "The Incredible Shrinking Man" (1957).
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0050539/

And it opens with this beautiful boat, a very in vogue design by today's standards.

Name the boat, years produced, shipyard and designer if possible.

To go further, tell me what is right or wrong about the boat by today's standards.
