When new coed Pat McClellan (Patricia Marshall) arrives on campus sporting racy fashions and pseudo-French phrases, he decides he wants her.

The singing voice of Peter Lawford will not blow you away; there are no huge stars in this movie; yet, the songs, witty Comden & Greene script, and energy of the performers make it an often overlooked gem of the MGM Musical library. June Allyson leads the way as a totally believable college girl who must work her way through school and doesn't get the man until the end. Peter Lawford gives a nice performance and dances up a storm as the college football star. The picture is incredible; razor sharp and bursting with technicolor splendor. Mel Torme has a small part, and although his singing adds ... Read More

When my granddaughter was practicing her French one day, it reminded me of the movie Good News which I saw when I was a young girl. I thought how refreshing it would be for my grandchildren to see a good old fashioned musical with lots of laughter and fun. I wasn't wrong. The girls enjoyed it (more than the young boys) and everyone watched it to the inevitable end when boy gets girl. No foul language, no killings, no blatant SEX scenes. Just good fun.

Count the number of dancers in those spectacular dance sequences. It is amazing. Every student at Tate College must have danced in them. The "Pass That Peacepipe" and final "Good New" numbers I have on constant re-run, never tire of seeing them.
Rating: - picture good;quality bad
I gave myself a headache trying to watch this d.v.d
It should have been a most enjoyable movie but the quality of the d.v.d was so bad it was unwatchable.
(I must say here that the fault was in the d.v.d not the d.v.d player as I have not had a problem watching d.v.d's before. or since.
I think something should be done to ensure quality of production when running off d.v.d's.
