Battle of the sexes comedies from the 1940s always make one go "uh oh" but at least this has a fresh set up - it's post war college, so lots of students are married with kids, which is cute. Donald O'Connor wants to play football, while wife Gloria de Haven wants him to give up. There's a subplot with Charles Coburn unconvincingly case as a football coach and teacher romancing a feminist teacher, Barbara Brown. At least philosophies are espoused.
Some nice numbers and gags. It's in colour. Cute babies.
