Librarian and French expert June Allyson falls in love with fellow student Peter Lawford, but he only has eyes for the flashy new girl. However, when he needs to pass a French exam to play in the big football game, she manages to convince him otherwise. War-weary audiences of 1947 must have loved this rosy, nostalgic story of college life in the 1920 whose characters had hardly a care in the world. It's about as far removed from the newsreels which must have preceded its showing as a movie can get. Shot in vivid, unreal Technicolor and buoyed by bouncing, romantic songs.
