Hold That Co-Ed (1938)


Twentieth Century-Fox
Directed by George Marshall
My rating: 2 stars out of 4
IMDb
(Fox Movie Channel)

Predictable campus comedy about a run-down state college getting financial help from a politician to advance his own career. John Barrymore is Governor Gabby Harrigan, who freely spends millions of tax payer dollars to build a new stadium and outfit the team, just so he can get more campaign publicity. No opportunity is wasted for the young cast to break into George M. Cohan's "Harrigan", many times over. George Murphy is the coach who leads the amateur team to victory in the "big game", with the help of female kicker Joan Davis.
