TOO MANY GIRLS. RKO Pictures, 1940. Lucille Ball, Richard Carlson, Ann Miller, Eddie Bracken, Frances Langford, Desi Arnaz. Director: George Abbott.

   When four football players are hired as bodyguards for a wealthy man’s strong-willed daughter,they all go off to Pottawatomie College, where she meets a secret lover. As the semester goes on, however, she finds herself falling for someone else.

   One of the bodyguards, that is, and it isn’t Desi. Lucille Ball was a delectable long-legged damsel in her early days, and even if she doesn’t do her own singing here. she is still quite an eyeful. She is also the only reason anyone should watch this sappy movie.
