A cadet at a military academy invites Lucille Ball to the senior prom and she shows up after her manager convinces her that it's good publicity! Who better to play Lucille Ball than Lucille Ball? In fact, she was so good at it that she played herself in two movies in 1943 ("Thousands Cheer" being the other). She looks rather alluring in this one! Dix, who kind of looks like Leonardo Di Caprio, apparently retired from acting after this one big role. Weidler, who plays his girlfriend, also retired after this film. In her film debut, Walker is funny as a homely student who tries to get the attention of every man she can. The plot is very thin, but it's mildly amusing.
