Synopsis
Rich kid Danny Churchill has a taste for wine, women and song, but not for higher education. So his father ships him to an all-male college out West where there's not supposed to be a female for miles. But before Danny arrives, he spies a pair of legs extending out from under a stalled roadster. They belong to the Dean's granddaughter, Ginger Gray, who is more interested in keeping the financially strapped college open than falling for Danny's romantic line. At least at first...

The New Yorker
In its own terms, the movie--the eighth Garland and Rooney had made together--is just about irresistible. - 88
Chicago Tribune
Judy Garland and Mickey Rooney out West at a boys school/dude ranch. Their best movie musical, adapted from the Ginger Rogers-Ethel Merman stage show, with that great George and Ira Gershwin score. [13 Apr 2007, p.C6] - 80
The New York Times
With George Gershwin's music and plenty of elbow room, for its twin stars, Girl Crazy is a funny, fast and completely infectious entertainment. - 80
TV Guide Magazine
Irresistible entertainment. - 70
Variety
The story thread is light, but enough to string together the George and Ira Gershwin songs.
