With boundless enthusiasm and enough jive to meld '20s flapper giddiness with '40s swing, 1947's Good News is 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). Peter Lawford (as a campus football hero) and June Allyson (she's the brainiac who tutors him) lead a high-spirited cast that includes Mel Torme and Broadway's Joan McCracken. “The Varsity Drag” and Best Song Oscar® nominee “Pass That Peace Pipe” stand out among the numbers that are all zip, joy, and the bee's knees.
