Friday, Jan. 13 - Mother Is a Freshman

Mother Is a Freshman (1949)

Widow Abby Abbott is having serious money problems and has to dip into the family trust in order to pay for her daughter Susan's college tuition. The catch: Abby must also become a co-ed or she can't touch the money. After passing her entrance exams, Abby goes to college and becomes very popular, especially with a handsome English professor whom Susan has a crush on.

In order to afford her daughter's college tuition, a woman enrolls herself at the same school aided by a rare large bursary but they both fall in love with the same cute English professor.

Exploiting a quirk in a scholarship fund, a woman pushing middle age ends up attending college. Widow Abby Abbott (Loretta Young) is stunned to learn that the cash set aside for her daughter's education is about to run dry, so she wrangles a setup that allows them both to enroll in classes. Abby soon takes the university by storm, as her budding relationship with school staffer Richard Michaels (Van Johnson) causes problems at home and in the halls of the school.
