Also known as College Girls, this Argentine comedy-drama was the fourth 1938 release for the prolific producer-director Manuel Romero. The audience doesn't see much of college, but there are plenty of girls on display, each with her own hopes, ambitions and crosses to bear. Much of the story concentrates on rich girl Isabel (Alicia Barrie) who turns her back on her family's wealth while trying to get through school on her own, and poor girl Dora (Alicia Vignoli), who hopes to gain fame and fortune upon graduation. The plot is the usual melange of minor triumphs, major setbacks and romantic triangles, somehow culminating in a happy ending for all concerned. Argentine "tango king" Francisco Lomuto breaks up the action with a few lively dance routines.
