The premises of the movie has been covered in detail, so I won't go into that. The movie starts well, at it of course includes the student's honour aspect. One shouldn't wonder why Bab's didn't point out the actual culprit, and prefer to take the blame on himself, this at least in my hostel days were THE way of life.
The movie after promising start, drags just a bit, and especially the two friends seem too callous and selfish, well, not worth being called a friend. They had their problems, but were not ready to adjust, to at least once in a while address to some of the genuine problems of Babs.
Incidentally, Babs any way would have been sheep-herding in New Zealand, had he antagonised his uncle's major client, Mrs Smythe. In fact, Charlie & Co, in their self-centred view, didn't even try to adjust Bab's responsibilities.
But the movie came back to track, once Mr Smythe, kay Francis came to screen. I have seen quite a few of her movies, and liked her, but due to her serious and histrionics (most of them in soap or semi-soap). But after watching this, I have to wonder why her screwball capability was never utilised by Holly? She had as radiant a personality as Rosalind and hogged the screen like her, and watching this one, there is no doubt of her possible success in that field. Why did they miss it ? The points are all for Benny and Kay, the personalities of the four (other) love-birds would be in fact a drag on these two's points. Thankfully they didn't stay for long on screen.
