Sunday, March 3 - A Swingin' Affair

A Swingin' Affair (1963)

Rick is pledging a snooty fraternity at a college. He feels out of place because he's a poor kid from the wrong side of town and picks up extra money by fighting in the ring. He doesn't want his potential fraternity brothers finding out about his background or how he makes his money. However, trouble arises when the rich and spoiled girlfriend of one of his fraternity "bros" comes on to him.

A college pledge attending a cool school dance where all the kids are twisting their butts off, secretly leaves the shindig to fight as "Kid Gallant" the prizefighter. Why does he fight? To raise money for his hoity-toity college fraternity initiation dues. He returns to the dance (he didn't take a shower) and hides the fact that he's a "crumb bum" boxer from his fraternity brothers and all the hot babes.

Johnny is a successful prizefighter, but he's trying to keep it secret from the rich kids at the college where he's trying to get into a fraternity. He thinks he would be blackballed if they ever found out, but just the opposite happens in the end!
