Movie Info

Tommy (Peter Lawford) is Tait College's quarterback and the biggest heartthrob on campus; unfortunately, his preoccupations with football and girls leave little time for studying. With an important game on the horizon, Tommy flunks a test. The college refuses to let Tommy play unless he retakes the test and gets a decent grade. Bookish student Connie (June Allyson) is enlisted to help; when they begin to hit it off, another seductive Tait coed grows jealous and decides to butt in.

    Sprightly, colorful and high spirited. Peter Lawford can't carry a tune to save his life but gives a game try, June is full of zest, Joan McCraken a marvel and Connie Gilchrist has an amusing small part. The dance numbers are fantastic.
