The film is very light weight but still enjoyable. The iambic pentameter opening seems very dated. However Dick Powell does a reasonable job. Fred Waring the and Pennsylvanians are in fine voice and the dance numbers still work. The finale is very cute -- particularly as the various levels of law enforcement come into the theater and end up watching the show. Look at the college hazing -- now mostly a thing of the past, curfews, the old cars -- driving to NYC instead of taking the train (at ... Read More

Varsity Show may not be the best movie musical ever made; but it's much better than I anticipated. The plot moves along very well and the acting is convincing. There are several cute, catchy musical numbers and it's a real treat to see Fred Waring And His Pennsylvanians in this picture. Busby Berkeley gives us a finale proving his superlative skill as a choreographer.
The action starts when Winfield College is putting on their annual show--but it is being severely hampered by stuffy ... Read More

"Varsity Show", a Warner's musical from 1937, is an inexplicably long and extravagant college musical with a cast of generally second rate musical performers.

Why watch Varsity Show? Two words: John Bubbles, the man Fred Astaire said was the greatest tap dancer of his generation. John Sublette (John Bubbles was his stage name) and his partner, Ford Washington Lee, were Buck and Bubbles, with Buck primarily at the piano and Bubbles dancing and singing. They were major stars in vaudeville. I can't explain dancing any more than an infant can explain milk, but I know the good stuff when I see it. John Bubbles combined tap, a sort of fast shuffle and ingenious ... Read More

Winfield College is putting on their annual production, but this year their director is really bringing them down. Instead of a fun, modern show, he is forcing them to perform in a play with no laughs and outdated music. A group of kids decide to enlist the help of a former student who has made it big on the Great White Way. Chuck Daly (Dick Powell) has fallen on hard times, and his partner (Ted Healy) forces him to accept the $1000 offered him to fix the college musical. Once there, he realizes usurping ... Read More
