Mr. Belvedere Goes to College

Plots(1)

Slick piece of comedy in which Webb is a famous writer who decides to attend college in order to receive a distinguished literary award. He figures he can complete the four-year program in just a year without too much problem. But a pushy journalism major, played by Temple, sees in Webbs presence a chance to write a dynamite article, and continually pesters the writer. Webbs performance, aided by the well-paced direction, manages to generate a steady flow of laughter. Temple, in the shadow of Webb, has better material with which to work than the majority of her later roles. (official distributor synopsis)
