Should Have Been Much Better

Warning: Spoilers
This was a 1930's stage musical put into film, and is significant mostly for the fact that Desi Arnaz and Lucille Ball met for the first time on the set and would later marry and become huge entertainment legends. Also, many stage actors would play their first roles in the movies. Perhaps the stage musical was better, but this movie was a borefest whose performers seem to be going through the motions.

The story is about the rebellious daughter of a wealthy businessman who wants to go to her father's alma mater-a small college in New Mexico with financial problems. The father agrees, but secretly hires four young men to enroll with the idea of being her secret bodyguards. The men are football players and join the team. I am making the movie sound more interesting than it was. It had the potential to be entertaining, but it fell completely flat, as if everyone was in a hurry to get everything over with.

Notable only for historical interest; not worth watching otherwise. I wondered why they bothered to put it on video.
