Welcome, Tait students, to the 1927 school year. For orientation, remember guys are called sheiks. Girls are shebas. And anything not the cat's meow must certainly be the bee's knees. Now go out there and give everything the old college try! With boundless enthusiasm and enough jive to meld flapper giddiness with '40s swing, 1947's Good News the feature directing debut of Charles Walters (Easter Parade, The Unsinkable Molly Brown) and screenwriting debut of Betty Comden and Adolph Green (Singin' in the Rain, The Band Wagon) is one of the best of the lighthearted rah-rah collegiate musicals (Pauline Kael, The New Yorker). Peter Lawford (as campus football hero) and June Allyson (she's the brainiac who tutors him) lead a high-spirited cast that includes Mel Torme and Broadway's Joan McCracken. And The Varsity Drag and Best Song Oscar nominee Pass That Peace Pipe stand out among numbers that are all zip and joy. And the bee's knees. Year: 1947 Director: Charles Walters Starring: Peter Lawford, June Allyson, Patricia Marshall, Joan McCracken, Ray McDonald, Mel Torme
