Freshman Love is a 1936 American musical comedy film based on George Ade's oft filmed 1904 play The College Widow, adaptations of which were filmed twice previously, in 1915 and 1927, and parodied by the Marx Brothers in their 1932 film Horse Feathers. This version is directed by William C. McGann and is a comedy-musical starring Patricia Ellis.[1]
This is Lloyd Bridges' first film.
A print is preserved at the Library of Congress.[2]
Male students are tricked into joining Billings College's rowing team when the coach, Speed Hammond, is able to persuade the school president's attractive daughter, Joan Simpkins, to recruit them.
Bob Wilson is one of the rowers, but due to a problem with his grades, he ends up enrolling under a phony name. Adversaries try everything, even music, to distract the Billings crew during the big race, but the team holds on for victory.
