Brother Rat [DVD] [1938]

Meet three cadets with major troubles! They must keep a secret for 10 calamity-filled weeks or risk not graduating. Two-time Oscar® nominee Eddie Albert teams up with Ronald Reagan and Wayne Morris for a spirited, behind-the-scenes look at love, laughter and life's hard-fought lessons within a prestigious Virginia military academy. In his screen debut, Albert defies campus rules by secretly marrying the woman he loves. And as if that isn't risky enough, they are now expecting a baby! Luckily, his fellow cadets, "Brother Rats," come to his aid, and all is smooth until the loyal pals become distracted by local coeds and their own attempts to avoid disciplinary action in this "distinguished piece of fresh comedy" (Daily Variety). Based on an original play and costarring Reagan's wife-to-be, Academy Award® winner Jany Wyman*, Brother Rat is the ticket to the "wholesome drama, comedy and laugh-lines" (Daily Variety) the entire family will enjoy. *Actress, Johnny Belinda, 1948.
