Storyline

Rich kid Danny Churchill (Rooney) has a taste for wine, women and song, but not for higher education. So his father ships him to an all-male college out West where there's not supposed to be a female for miles. But before Danny arrives, he spies a pair of legs extending out from under a stalled roadster. They belong to the Dean's granddaughter, Ginger Gray (Garland), who is more interested in keeping the financially strapped college open than falling for Danny's romantic line. At least at first...

Trivia

After Busby Berkeley finished directing the finale ("I Got Rhythm" number, which was filmed first), he was fired by producer Arthur Freed and replaced by Norman Taurog. The reasons vary: modern sources say he was way over budget and behind schedule. Freed himself claimed it was because of a personality clash with Judy Garland, who requested his dismissal.

Goofs

Crew or equipment visible: When Ginger arrives at the college and sees Danny get put onto a horse by some of the students to ride off to a campfire, there seems to be a trainer squatted behind an abandoned carriage cuing the horses. See more »

Quotes

Ginger Gray: You just don't ask a girl to marry you like you're going to the hardware store to buy a coffeegrinder. I mean you just don't come up to a girl and say 'The humidity is very high for this time of year will you marry me?'
Henry Lathrop: I just didn't want to get... uh romantic.
Ginger Gray: Oh you just didn't want to get "UH" romantic. What are you saving it for?
