Question
Hey Mel,

One of my favorite movies ever, is a corny comedy I have not seen since I was a kid called 'About Face!" It takes place in a military academy and one of the main characters is married but is not supposed to be, etc. It's quite musical and probably politically incorrect, as I can remember a fraternity singing a song called "Wooden Indian". I'm trying to find a copy of this movie,with no luck, so far.

Can you help?

Best,
Sylvia

Answer
Hello Sylvia,

"About Face" was made in 1952 by Warner Bros and starred Gordon McRae and Eddie Bracken. It sometimes gets shown on the TCM Channel.

Unfortunately, at the moment, it is not available to buy in VHS or DVD. You might be lucky and find a  VHS copy for sale on ebay.com, but you would need to check there regularly to find out.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

Cheers........Mel.
