User Reviews

Go away, collegiate...

Well well well... how did they ever think of that? A beautiful example, of how a film can be produced without any help from the scriptwriters! Fortunately there are some beautiful people filling up the screen time to keep us distracted. First of all, Gale Storm is absolutely gorgeous. She's beautiful and sexy and yet she looks like a teenager, and her voice is quite charming - yet not quite what it became about ten years later, when she concentrated on her recording career. Jackie Moran has a very sober acting style and looks very handsome until he undresses in the last reel - then he looks like a huge sausage. There are about three songs in that film, and these are quite good, so you might want to check this flick out for an hour of entertainment. Classical Musicals 50 movie pack helps you.
