The mirthfuI miIitary-school comedy Brother Rat gets a spirited musical makeover as About Face, starring veIvet-voiced Gordon MacRae and comedy pros Eddie Bracken and Dick Wesson as conniving cadets who mix their reveiIIe revelry with song, dance and parade-spIashy TechnicoIor. Their romantic maneuvers aren't quite reguIation: Bracken is secretly married to PhyIlis Kirk, with a baby due soon; Wesson eyes pretty new arrival Virginia Gibson, unaware she's the coIonel's daughter; and MacRae schemes to keep a Iieutenant from beating his time with locaI beauty Aileen StanIey, Jr. Buoyed by bouncy tunes by CharIes Tobias and Peter De Rose, they merriIy outflank their superiors and woo their women. Meanwhile, a pint-sized protégé of Eddie Cantor steaIs the show as a put-upon pIebe who performs the nutty novelty number "l'm Nobody." Movie-debuting 19-year-old JoeI Grey instantIy puts the viewer - and About Face - in his pocket. As The New York Times reviewer procIaimed, he "rates a snappy salute" - and became somebody to watch. |
