College Queen

About This Movie

So, College Queen is a neat little slice of 1946 American cinema. It’s light-hearted, with a charming atmosphere that you can’t help but enjoy. Tom Cannon, the tap-dancing senior, is a likable lead, and his quest to find the College Queen sets a familiar but engaging backdrop. The pacing rolls along nicely, punctuated by some catchy tunes—one of the highlights being 'I'm Learning a Lot.' The performances, especially from Cindy Harris, are bubbly and sincere, adding to the overall feel-good vibe. It’s not groundbreaking, but it has a certain charm that reflects the era's innocence and optimism, which is quite delightful to watch.

College Queen has had a bit of a rocky road in terms of preservation. It's not the most widely available title, which adds to its allure for collectors. Finding it on DVD or Blu-ray can be a challenge, but there are some decent prints floating around in collector circles. The film's unique blend of comedy and musical numbers captures a post-war optimism, making it a quaint piece for those interested in the less mainstream offerings of the era.
