Richard D's video: George Murphy Joan Davis - Limpy Dimp 1938

From Hold That Co-Ed (1938) Here is George Murphy and Joan Davis with Limpy Dimp, music and lyrics by Sidney Clare, Jule Styne and Nicholas Castle. This tuneful campus comedy features aging star John Barrymore as a sly, blustery Southern governor with his eye on the Senate (aka Louisiana's Huey Long). He sees opportunity knocking when he learns how desperate his constituents have become to build their miserable state college football team into winners. He figures that if the team wins, so will he. To this end, he surreptitiously recruits a number of burly professional wrestlers to pose as football players. Unfortunately his chief opponent is running a similar racket with a rival university. When the governor's trickery is revealed on the eve of the big game, things look bleak until a quick-thinking coed shows up to save the day. No copyright infringement intended.
