High Time (1960)

 This is a pretty fun movie.  Bing Crosby stars as rich widower Harvey Howard, who decides at 51 years of age to go to college, much to the protests of his grown son and daughter.  Harvey insists on being treated like all the other freshman, including staying in a dormitory with three other college students, Gil Sparrow (Fabian), Bob Bannerman (Richard Beymer), and T. J. Padmanagham (Patrick Adiharte).  He meets the French Professor Helene Gauthier (Nicole Maurey) While trying to find items to burn for the freshman bonfire.  The rest of the movie is about the activities Harvey gets involved in.    Studying for exams. And falling in love with the French professor. Harvey sings "The Second Time Around" to her.   High Time is a lesser known Bing Crosby movie, but I thought it was pretty fun.
