> Good News [VHS]
Discription : Tait College football captain Tommy Marlowe (Peter Lawford) is used to getting any girl he wants. When new coed Pat McClellan (Patricia Marshall) arrives on campus sporting racy fashions and pseudo-French phrases, he decides he wants her. But Pat only has eyes for men with millions, so Tommy enlists sweet Connie Lane (June Allyson), Pat's sorority sister who is working her way through Tait as an assistant librarian, to help him learn French. Tommy falls for down-to-Earth Connie, who falls for him right back, but his ego gets in the way when Pat does a turnabout and decides she does want him after all.
Based on the Broadway play and 1930s musical, Good News is an enthusiastic, good-hearted romp through late-'20s college life. Broadway actress Joan McCracken as Connie's roommate Babe Doolittle exudes energy as she leads nearly all the musical numbers, particularly shining in "Good News" and "Pass the Peace Pipe." A young Mel Torm? sings a lovely reprise of "The Best Things in Life Are Free," and one of the signature songs, "The Varsity Drag," is led by Allyson and Lawford showcasing their dancing and singing talents (Lawford is a better hoofer than vocalist). Though the movie seems mainly constructed around the musical numbers, the writing is sharp and the cast members seems to be enjoying themselves. Director Charles Walters went on to direct Easter Parade and The Unsinkable Molly Brown, and screenwriters Betty Comden and Adolph Green would make their mark with, among others, On the Town and Singin' in the Rain. --Dana Van Nest
More review coming soon.
I miss movies with June Alyson. She was always my favorite. This movies makes me feel young again and makes me want to get up and dance.
I bought this for my mom as a Christmas present because it is here favorite movie. She has watched it over and over since then and it has brought back memories of her youth and made her very happy. I'm so glad that old movies like this are available on DVD. The joy they can bring to someone's life is immeasurable.
Great cast. I love any movie with June Allyson I wish there were more of her movies on DVD I would buy them all. June Allyson is such a great talent. As there is not enough of her movies on DVD I pleased to have a few in my Classic collection of DVD's. But there is always room for more June Allyson movies great to watch.
