Ann Ross Maclean's Magazine 04/01/2019
The story lightly skips a couple of hundred years, and we are right in the midst of one of those college musicals which are as completely unlike anything in college as they are exactly like each other. Go to Full Review
Michael E. Grost Classic Film and Television 07/17/2009
Cheerful musical, with inventive Raoul Walsh style and nice touches of fantasy images. Go to Full Review

Chris M 04/17/2024 Another 30s movie that is more joke base than character or plot base. The jokes move the story forward instead of the plot producing the jokes But Bob Hope in another early role is great and it's cool to see George Burns, Gracie Allen and Bob Hope share the screen the together. The jokes are good but the movie can be forgettable if not the for cast. Overall, it's not perfect but still great. See more Steve D 05/18/2023 Absolutely no one is given anything to do. See more 05/13/2012 Enjoyable screwball musicomedy in Paramount's seemingly endless series of 1930s college movies. See more 09/05/2010 This movie has great actors, but they don't really work together, so it's like watching two different movies sometimes. The ending is the best part. See more 03/13/2009 Well-cast nonsense one of many teamings of Burns and Allen and Hope and Raye. See more 08/16/2008 Great cast can't beat it See more Read all reviews
