Mother Is A Freshman

You'll Love This Movie
It's 1949 and Loretta Young has to be the most beautiful woman on the planet. She's also gentle-spoken, lovable, sweet and very stylish. Van Johnson plays a handsome professor at Pointer College. The problem is Betty Lynn, who plays Loretta's rather spoiled daughter. She's developed a crush on Van, who is old enough to be her father. This leads to complications when Loretta goes back to college to get her hands on some scholarship funding because she and Betty are overdrawn at the bank.

Van falls in love with Loretta, not Betty. Barbara Lawrence is another student with a crush on Van. He's a very popular professor. Barbara even flunked his course so she could repeat it. Meanwhile, Robert Arthur, a handsome young man of the right age, is in love with Betty who treats him badly because she's in love with Van. And Rudy Vallee is the family lawyer who is in love with Loretta. Everyone is hopelessly in love with the wrong people!

Throughout this romantic...

Need to be released on DVD
I've been searching for Mother is a Freshman on DVD for 4 years and will continue until I find it.
I grew up watching it from a home recorded VHS. That copy is lost now. I would like to return Mother is a Freshman to my collection in the form of a DVD.
This movie is an old favorite of my family.
Highly recommended.

May be released by Fox Archives
I too have been searching for this classic movie with Loretta Young. Today I saw 2 different sources on the internet saying this will be released by Fox Cinema Archives around the end of October or late fall along with Come to the Stable, Take Her She's Mine (Sandra Dee), The Second Time Around (Debbie Reynolds) and Golden Girl (Mitzi Gaynor) among others. I have been waiting for Take Her, She's Mine forever so I was pretty excited about that too.
