Girl Crazy (Blu-ray) Warner Archive

Mickey Rooney. Judy Garland. Gershwin music. And Tommy Dorsey to play it. Who could ask for anything more? From Garlands rendition of But Not for Me to the grand finale of I Got Rhythm, Girl Crazy is one of the most buoyant tunefests ever put on-screen. Rich kid Danny Churchill (Rooney) has a taste for wine, women and song, but not for higher education. So his father ships him to an all-male college out West where theres not supposed to be a female for miles. But before Danny arrives, he spies a pair of legs extending out from under a stalled roadster. They belong to the deans granddaughter, Ginger Gray (Garland), who is more interested in keeping the financially strapped college open than falling for Dannys romantic line. At least at first.
