Winter Carnival

Glamor girl Ann Sheridan has made excellent newspaper copy, including marrying a count and getting a divorce almost immediately. She's on her way to Dartmouth College for the Winter Carnival, and Richard Carlson; when she was Queen of the Carnival he and she were a number, and he's still nursing a grudge over being dumped. Or is it something else?

As I write this, Dartmouth is about to throw its 125 Winter Carnival. Although it's changed, with no ski jumping nor formal dance, it seems to still be a major event for the college. F. Scott Fitzgerald and Budd Schulberg were dispatched by B. P. Schulberg to head up to Hanover to pick up local color.... with a bottle of champagne, which means that Fitzgerald was canned. The result is a decent if rather unexceptional movie, enlivened by Miss Sheridan throwing herself, as usual, into her role, as well as an assortment of up-and-coming young players, like Helen Parrish, Joan Leslie, Marsha Hunt, and Peggy Moran. Robert Armstrong has a sizable part, and I spotted an uncredited Robert Walker.
