Product Description
All-American Co-Ed (1941)
Director:
LeRoy Prinz
Writers:
Cortland Fitzsimmons (original screenplay), Kenneth Higgins (adaptation)Stars:
Frances Langford, Johnny Downs, Marjorie Woodworth
This 48-minute Hal Roach "streamliner" represents a rare directorial assignment for veteran Hollywood choreographer LeRoy Prinz, who also produced the film. Johnny Downs stars as Bob Sheppard of Quinceton University, who is appointed by his frat brothers to get even with the snotty sorority gals at all-female Marr Brynn U. This requires Bob to dress up in drag as a "blonde bombshell" and to enter Marr Brynn's annual beauty contest. When he's not flouncing around in curls and crinolines, Bob spends his time romancing pert co-ed Virginia (Frances Langford). The supporting cast ranges from silent-comedy veteran Harry Langdon to leggy newcomer Marie Windsor. The film's four musical numbers (representing approximately 25 percent of the running time!) include the Oscar-nominated "Out of the Silence".

A 48 minute honey
Posted by Philip Shultz on Jan 29th 2023
From the Hal Roach studios. Collegiate musical, where Johnny Downs does drag, in order to get into the female sorority. A film is usually worthwhile to me, when it stars Frances Langford, and she does a good deal of singing in this one, including the Oscar-nominated song,
"Out of The Silence". The 48 minute (!!) running time of this film, will pass as a cool breeze, coming from the ocean.
