Comic-strip characters go to college, and mostly moronic things happen. The enduring popularity of Blondie and Dagwood has always been a mystery to me, and this movie did nothing to change that. Remarkably, it's one of 28 Blondie features cranked out at Columbia between 1938 and 1950, all of them starring Lake and Singleton. Young Lloyd Bridges turns up briefly as one of the students.
