Restored and colorized for today’s audiences, this public domain gem blends romance, humor, and college hijinks with lively musical numbers. Originally produced during the early 1940s, it reflects the era’s fascination with campus comedies and patriotic themes while offering pure entertainment. By reintroducing this classic in vivid color and enhanced quality, modern viewers in the United States, Europe, and worldwide can rediscover a cheerful film once overlooked.\n\nPlot Summary:\nClairmount College for Women is in trouble—its enrollment numbers are low, and Dean Roger Crandall seeks a way to generate attention. His niece, Virginia, writes to a popular men’s college newspaper, mocking their rival all-male fraternity for producing effeminate students. Offended, fraternity president Bob Sheppard devises a bold prank: he disguises himself as “Bobbie DeWolfe,” an effervescent young woman, and enrolls at Clairmount to infiltrate the school. His mission is to prove the point and stir up laughs, but complications arise when he genuinely falls in love with Virginia. As Bob tries to maintain his disguise, he also participates in the school’s musical revue, creating a series of comic situations filled with mistaken identities, song, and dance. Eventually, the truth is revealed, but not before Bob redeems himself by helping the college succeed.\n\nCast and Crew:\n• Director: LeRoy Prinz\n• Producer: Hal Roach\n• Screenplay: Cortland Fitzsimmons, Hal Roach Jr.\n• Cinematography: Jack MacKenzie\n• Editing: William F.
