Sarge Goes To College (1947)

This is another short musical to display the high tenor crooning of Freddie Stewart and the cuteness of June Preisser. "Sarge" is Alan Hale, who is sent to college from the military to help his medical recovery. Hale is pretty well cast in this role, in contrast to the many where he was totally out of place. One of the interesting scenes is early on, when orchestra leader Russ Morgan fronts his band. He plays the piano, the trombone, and displays a very nice crooner's voice. An all-star cast of musicians are woven into the story, including famous guitarist Les Paul.
