Our Score: 4 out of 5 stars
This film is such a classic and thanks to WB Archive, you are able to own this gem on DVD. It stars a very young Anthony Perkins and Jane Fonda (in her first role ever). They are amazing together in the film and really give wonderful performances. Murry Hamilton (Mayor Vaughn from “Jaws”) also gives a funny performance. This film definitely packs the star power and is a real treat to watch. The story of the film is just so simple and sweet…don’t forget to mention funny as well. If you are looking for a good trip back to 1960, this is a must to purchase for sure.
The restored film looks amazing on DVD and shines in its black and white picture. The film is presented in widescreen format 16×9 1.85:1. The sound is also superb restored as well. I really enjoy this classics being restored and I look 
forward to future releases from WB Archive. Like all release though know from WB Archive there are no special features but at least we finally get this film restored on DVD.

Synopsis: Jane Fonda wants a man she can look up to: a basketball player. In her debut movie, Fonda plays a college coed with a clear-cut goal: convince all-American hoopster Anthony Perkins that a bachelor’s degree doesn’t mean unmarried! From the moment the future two-time Academy Award® winner* spins her bicycle across campus (and headlong into two professors) to the romantic fadeout, it’s clear she possesses that quality called starpower. Footlight legend and longtime Fonda family friend Joshua Logan directed this frisky farce. The polished supporting cast includes the always engaging Ray Walston, Anne Jackson and Pulitzer prize-winning playwright Marc Connelly (recreating his Tony®-nominated Broadway turn). Fonda has grown into an extraordinarily tall Hollywood legend. And it all started with her in Tall Story. * Best Actress for Klute (1971) and Coming Home (1978).
