Big city playboy (Mickey Rooney) is sent to a small all-male college in the Southwest by his father, who's hoping the girl crazy kid will focus on his studies. But all he does is flirt with the college dean's daughter (Judy Garland). Not much plot is needed in this one because the George Gershwin songs are terrific. "Embraceable You," "I Got Rhythm," and "Bidin' My Time" are among the tunes. Opening number "Treat Me Rough" with June Allyson starts things off with a kick. Busby Berkeley started out as director but problems with Judy led to him being canned. Norman Taurog directed most of the picture. A lot of fun with typical likable performances from Judy and Mickey. Plus good support from Guy Kibbee, Nancy Walker, and Rags Ragland. Definitely a must-see for fans of the stars.
