College Humor Overview:
College Humor (1933) was a Comedy - Musical Film directed by Wesley Ruggles and produced by William LeBaron.
SYNOPSIS
Large cast of noteworthies enlivens this lightweight musical sendup of the college movie, featuring Crosby as a (not surprisingly) singing professor who gets the girl first and stardom later. Perhaps inevitably, there is football, with Arien as the gridiron star supplanted romantically by Crosby and athletically by Oakie. Burns and Allen appear briefly to create mayhem at a fraternity dance.
