Donald O'Connor shines in this B-Musical!
by cheshirecat325 β€’ 2003-11-27
10/10

"I am a huge Donald O'Connor fan and have seen most of his movies. Donald in the early forties made several teen B-Musicals, this one being one of his best. Donald O'Connor's charm and personality really shine through in this film. It is packed with tons of really great songs and really fabulous dancing by O'Connor. He and Peggy Ryan, my favorite on screen duo, have great chemistry in this film. It is short on time and budget, but is still my favorite of his teen pictures and I highly recommend it to others...."

πŸ’‘ Did You Know?

Ann Blyth - here making her screen debut - would reteam with Donald O'Connor for The Buster Keaton Story (1957), which was almost Blyth's cinematic swansong, her only subsequent movie being The Helen Morgan Story (1957). In the interim Blyth and O'Connor would headline The Merry Monahans (1944) and be featured in Bowery to Broadway (1944), which like ''Chip Off the Old Block'' were directed by Charles Lamont.
