Funny film where Yale University invites the wrong Texas college team to play against them. A series of comic misfortunes, wrong notes and other items mark this 1936 film.
Ironically, Stuart Irwin got top billing in the film and wound up being nominated for best supporting actor. If there were to be acting nominations in this humorous film, they should have gone instead to Jack Haley, as the transplanted Texas coach from Long Island, and his wife, Patsy Kelly, as shrewd as they come.
As the 'hick's sister, Judy Garland, 3 years before "The Wizard of Oz," is given the opportunity to sing.
Betty Grable and Tony Martin, the latter under the stage name of Anthony Martin, also appear.
It's that good old fashioned comedy about college life set to music. It succeeds nicely for the most part.
