Jane Fonda is so cute! She's the cutest girl in the whole world, and if you don't agree, you've obviously not yet seen Tall Story. She plays an irresistible college student who's desperately in love with basketball star Anthony Perkins. She quickly twists her professors, Marc Connelly and Ray Walston, around her finger and recruits them in her master plan. She takes all of Tony's classes, becomes a pom-pom girl to attend all his games, and tries to impress him with her incredible intellect, to distract him from the fact that she has only come to college to get him to marry her.
It's light, it's funny, it's dated, but it's incredibly fun during a matinee weekend with a fresh batch of popcorn and a bunch of girlfriends around to giggle with. We've all had a crush in our high school or college years, one we would have done anything to catch. The fact that Jane doesn't do anything devious or mean to win Tony shows what a sweet girl she is. If you need any more incentive to rent this oldie but goodie, it was her film debut! What a doll, and what a screen personality!
