About Face

Gordon MacRae , Eddie Bracken, and Dick Wesson are Tony, Biff, and Dave at a military school. There's a big game coming up, and the guys are looking forward to meeting the ladies. And the girls are scheming on the train on the way in. One of the girls is the daughter of the new C. O. so therunning gag is that the daughter Betty Long is calling herself Betty Short, so they don't realize she's related to the CO. And of course, her man is caught in the middle, when she and the CO have a fight. Joel Gray is in here as Bender. And Mrs. Carter is played by Mabel Albertson... from What's up Doc and That Girl. And Boff is married, which is against the rules. So many problems. And so many songs....every couple minutes, they break out in song. It's okay. Gets silly and goofy. Bracken was king of the doubletakes. Directed by Roy DelRuth; started in the silents, moved into talkies, and had his last film released in 1960!
