Robert E. Strickland

Mickey Rooney and Judy Garland stars as a womanizing playboy who finds true love when he is sent to a remote college. Fun-filled musical featuring songs by George and Ira Gershwin.

With boundless enthusiasm and enough jive to meld '20s 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).
