Girl Crazy (1943)

Distracted by female students and performing poorly in the classroom, Danny Churchill Jr. (Mickey Rooney) moves west to a university that his father believes is free of temptation. Soon, though, Danny strikes up a friendship with Ginger Gray (Judy Garland). When Ginger, whose family runs the all-male college, explains that the school has money troubles, creative Danny puts together a big fundraiser. The event highlights their song-and-dance skills and also cements their bond.
