Hard to believe that all the college students are over 25 and are all in the college play??? Not one book is seen throughout the film and no one seems to attend classes..The big production number at the end is strange in that in two seconds the Virginia Mayo and Gene Nelson character change costumes and face make up.
Could only happen in a fantasy musical which of course this is. Mayo does well in her role and Ronald Reagan seems a bit out of his league. The one stand out is Gene Nelson. A cross between Astaire and Kelly. His number in the gym is worth the price of admission. Great. The Patrice Wymore role of Ivy is a bit uneven but she does well. Phyllis Thaxter does well as Reagans suffering wife, but Don De Fore is out of his element. All told an OK escapism show. But again, watch this for a couple of good musical numbers and Mr. Nelsons superb gym number.
