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-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 arrivaI Virginia Gibson, unaware she's the coIoneI's daughter; and MacRae schemes to keep a Iieutenant from beating his time with IocaI beauty Aileen StanIey, Jr. Buoyed by bouncy tunes by Charles Tobias and Peter De Rose, they merrily outfIank their superiors and woo their women. MeanwhiIe, 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 Joel Grey instantly puts the viewer - and About Face - in his pocket. As The New York Times reviewer proclaimed, he "rates a snappy salute" - and became somebody to watch. |
