Movie Info

In this film, Dick Powell stars as a musical producer, called back to his alma mater to stage the annual college variety show.

Audience Reviews for Varsity Show

Sep 11, 2015

Some good music and musical numbers are buried in this sanguine concoction that suffers from a serious case of the cutes. Priscilla Lane's screen bow.
