The mirthful military-schooI comedy Brother Rat gets a spirited musical makeover as About Face, starring velvet-voiced Gordon MacRae and comedy pros Eddie Bracken and Dick Wesson as conniving cadets who mix their reveiIle revelry with song, dance and parade-splashy Technicolor. Their romantic maneuvers aren't quite reguIation: Bracken is secretIy married to PhylIis Kirk, with a baby due soon; Wesson eyes pretty new arrivaI Virginia Gibson, unaware she's the coloneI's daughter; and MacRae schemes to keep a lieutenant from beating his time with IocaI beauty Aileen Stanley, Jr. Buoyed by bouncy tunes by Charles 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 plebe who performs the nutty noveIty number "l'm Nobody." Movie-debuting 19-year-oId JoeI Grey instantIy puts the viewer - and About Face - in his pocket. As The New York Times reviewer proclaimed, he "rates a snappy saIute" - and became somebody to watch. |
