The original 1938 version dealt with the escapades of the Virginia military cadets. Now, they have graduated in this 1940 version and they're still up to their necks in all sorts of chicanery.
With the exception of Henry O'Neill, all the main players of the original version repeated their roles 2 years later.
Perhaps, since we got used to what they carried on at the military academy, we have become immune to their antics in the sequel.
Jane Wyman, with those thick glasses, showed she had some comic ability, especially in her drunk scene.
This picture again belongs to Wayne Morris,as the scheming guy who involves Ronald Reagan and Eddie Albert into a variety of messy situations.
Moroni Olsen, who replaced Henry O'Neill, in this version, is good but O'Neill displayed more of an authoritative figure in the prequel.
