Movie Reviewed: Dancing Co-Ed (1939), starring Lana Turner

Hold that Co Ed

At 19, Lana Turner was made a star by the biggest studios in the business, the MGM Studios. Lana Turner glowed in this hilarious comedy as a dancing Co Ed. But the critics were skeptical when this movie was released in 1939, and soon they were enchanted with her looks and onscreen charms for decades. The screen writing of Albert Mannheim was based on Albert Treynor’s story which was set in a college. The musical ornamentation was given by Artie Shaw & his band, and directed by Sylvan Simon. Also co-starring with Turner were Richard Carlson, Ann Rutherford, Monty Woolley and Roscoe Karns. I am a big fan of Lana Turner and highly recommend this film to all her fans!
