  • 1937

The second-earliest musical with a reference, and a really fun one, with two whole song-and-dance scenes actually set at Vassar. An elephantine MGM musical, Rosalie (Eleanor Powell) is a princess from a fictional middle-European country in the U.S. to attend college. She falls for Nelson Eddy, who comes to campus to win her love. The entire lengthy scene set at the college is here; the presentation of dorm life is especially delightful.
