College football star Donald O'Connor is forbidden by his wife (Gloria DeHaven) to play football. And what's the reasoning behind her forbidding? Well, one of her female professors had a failed romance with the football coach back years ago and she's still bitter about it. Even worse is other young mothers have taken up the cause and forbidden their football studs from playing. Now the entire football program is at stake!!! Oh, no! Will this be the end of football at Granger College? Will there be some singing? Maybe a few small dance numbers and one mildly impressive tap dance number at a laundromat? Will Jack Overman make a cameo? Will there be a lot of baby crying? Will there be a big game at the end? Will the romance between the professor and the coach be rekindled? Will the baby for whatever reason be the celebrated hero of the game in spite of the fact that all he did was sit on the sidelines and scream his fucking brains out? Will there be male cheerleaders? Will somebody put on a hat full of water? You'll just have to watch for yourself to find out! Or not, it really wasn't that entertaining.
There were a few sparks of life in the musical numbers and the scenes between
Donald and Gloria, but the rest of the film was pretty silly and the big game
at the end was just ridiculous and made no sense at all...Donald actually
changed a diaper between plays! Alright for a one-time watch (if you're
into films from the 1940's), but my biggest entertainment came from the
background shots, the clothing/hairstyles and the dated views on male-female
relationships.
